On today’s episode of As Trenton Turns…
It’s been a tumultuous winter in New Jersey politics to say the least, Save Jerseyans. Since Chris Christie’s historic win in November, a period of only three months, we’ve seen three (3) congressmen announce their retirement, the mayor of our capital city felled by a criminal conviction, a Democrat Senator under FBI investigation, and subpoenas falling on the Republican Governor’s administration quicker than the snow that continued to accumulate on our roadways.
Did I also mention that we’re out of salt?
For those of you looking for more fun, you might finally get your wish tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Today’s twice-cancelled Middletown Township Christie town hall meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 20th when it’s supposed to be close to 50 degrees outside.
Another anticipated event in political circles is off but not because of road conditions. Bridge conditions are the reported problem.
Benjamin Dworkin, Executive Director of the Rebovich Institute of Politics at Rider University, announced the cancellation of an upcoming Election 2013 campaign managers conference which was also supposed to happen on Thursday:
The 2013 gubernatorial campaign in New Jersey was a fascinating race, and we had eagerly looked forward to focusing on this particular race during the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics’ Campaign Managers Conference – our annual look at how modern campaigns are run.
Unfortunately, due to recent controversies and ongoing investigations, it has become clear that a full discussion of the campaign is not possible at this time. Therefore, the Rebovich Institute has chosen to cancel the conference.
We want to thank all of our panelists, including Hon. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Hon. Bill Palatucci, Adam Geller, David Turner and Michael DuHaime for their willingness to participate. We look forward to a meaningful discussion of this campaign at some point in the future.
We apologize for any inconvenience to our panelists, supporters, and for all others planning to attend this event.
What’s on tap for tomorrow?
Flip a coin, folks!
