I voted for positive change in my state, but on a lesser note, I hope people around the nation can now gain a bit of respect for New Jersey. We're no longer a complete laughing stock.
Okay, New Jersey does deserve a bit of respect.

LMAO..you honestly believe Christie is that key to respect. This was not a positive change, but it was a change ...its the same old same old.. I didn't vote for Corzine even though i'm a democrat and I did not vote for Christie. Nothing and i mean nothing is going to change, the unions were here during Bradley and Whitman and they will still be here with the next Governor. We will be having the EXACT SAME conversation on property taxes in 2013.

We'll see. The Obama crowd is defending their man man by saying "It's only been a year, give Obama a full term to turn things around". Well, fine, but then the same should apply here. Maybe things will improve and maybe not. Without even giving the man a day in office, you're ready to throw him to the wolves. It's an ignorant, defeatist attitude and one which will cripple New Jersey if it continues.

No its not ignorant. Until we New Jersian's get a GOVERNOR in office who is willing to take on the unions and the legislators to combine the 300 school districts and services under one, two hell 3 administration we will continue to have the highest property taxes in the country.
until we get a GOVERNOR that we slap down these corrupt politicians and not join in the corruptions, we will continue to have these issues. Never believed Corzine could do it, do not believe Christie will either. Its not a defeatist attitude its REALITY.

Tell me which politician even spoke about these issues? Not one.
