Wisniewski: Gov-elect′s Inconsistencies a Bad Sign for N.J.

December 10, 2009

TRENTON – Assemblyman John Wisniewski on Thursday released the following

statement:

“Gov.-elect Christie is apparently learning that governing involves more than vague

promises and rants.”
 

“Either his transition team wants New Jersey to apply for Race to the Top federal

education funding or it doesn′t.”
 

“Borrowing money for transportation work is either ‘unconscionable’ or it’s not.”
 

“Despite Gov.-elect Christie′s best efforts, it cannot be both.”
 

“Gov.-elect Christie is already having difficulty sticking to what he says, and that′s a bad

sign for New Jersey.”
 

The Star-Ledger on Thursday reported that Gov.-elect Christie – after calling borrowing

money to replenish the Transportation Trust Fund "unconscionable” - will borrow more than $1

billion to pay for highway improvements and public transit projects.

It also reported that Christie’s transition team urged the outgoing Corzine administration

to delay applying for federal education aid - nearly two weeks before Christie’s spokeswoman

faulted the governor for not seeking the money.
