Nearly 200 people, many of them well known Democrats, have been nominated by Corzine for a variety of government positions including judgeships and jobs on state boards and authorities.
Governor Corzine is aware Governor-elect Chris Christie has major concerns about those appointments.
Corzine: The number of appointments by comparison to what we've checked the last few administrations in lame duck in the last year is significantly less so I think there will be continuing dialogue.
Christie says residents voted for change in the election and says it's inappropriate for Corzine to now be making appointments to policy-making positions.
Christie has indicated he may have Republican supporters in the state Senate block some of those nominations.
The incoming governor should not be handcuffed with lame-duck political appointments that are not his own.”
What ex-governor Corzine doing is despicable like all true Democrats!!!!!!!!!
Lose and get revenge any way they can, legal or illegal.
