What a Wonderful Wiz He is !

AND lest we forget:
(1)    $400M in Fed Ed aid that was lost (then he stuck it all on Schlinder)
(2)    $12M spend on unnecessary election (so he wouldn't be on the ballot with Booker)
(3)    doled out $10M as a parting gift to a Sandy aid relief distribution company (Hammerman & Gainer which was fired for poor performance)
(4)    Spent $7M for legal costs to his bud Mastro (the GWB problem and it’s still not over)
(5)    Lost $350M repayment to the Federal government when he reneged on the Arc Tunnel Project (lost the 3,000 construction jobs the tunnel was projected to generate for the next decade and also cost N.Y. and N.J. 44,000 jobs and $4 billion in additional income through economic growth, according to a 2008 study by New Jersey Transit)
(6)    Lost $7.7M for refusing to participate in the health care exchange program (and could have insured 95,000 additional uninsured New Jerseyans and would have cost the State nothing)

"The Governor's" Silence is Golden - For Lawyers That is!!


"The Governor"  (as he likes to call himself) finds it easy to decry spending when it comes to the salaries, benefits and pensions of public employees.
But why have we heard no outcry from him regarding taxpayer spending on legal costs? 
*(Please see the excerpt from the 2013 NJ Comptroller's Report below)
Why does he not propose a cap on the fees charged to the State by law firms?
His lack of comment on this issue speaks volumes about his hypocrisy!
