Senator Lesniak's betrayal of the public interest to the Corzine fiscal restructuring & toll asset monetization plan speaks for itself.
The 800% road tax was announced by Governor Corzine in his January 10, 2008 State of the State address. On January 16, 2008 Senator Raymond Lesniak told Star-Ledger Reporter Joe Donohue in an article titled Lesniak wants governor to drop toll plan for Route 440 ;
"If they want 440 in there, they will have to find someone else to sponsor it. I won't," said Lesniak, one of the earliest proponents of using the state toll roads to ease the state's financial problems."
With Senators Adler and Van Drew joining the 17 Republican Senator's in opposing the road tax,
any vote in the Senate would tally 20-20, and thus fail.
The Star-Ledger then reports that at Governor Corzine's Middlesex "Town Hall"meeting the Governor announced "Tolls on Rt. 440 'not happening,'"
On September 10, 2008 reformed sinner Lesniak turned Corzine attack dog when he posted a guest article in the Star-ledger smearing New Jersey radio station 101.5 fm [for] self-promotion and pandering because they have actively opposed the Governor's toll road tax.
Senator Raymond Lesniak's February 11, 2008 Star-Ledger post "Lets Talk About Corzine's Toll road plan" is even funnier as Senator' Lesniak's Rah-Rah speech waxes poetic about political courage during tough times and the need for all to support the Governor and reach a solution.
Is that a lesson in slick practices or what?
