I underestimated the NJ Transit mess, but I'll fix it, Murphy says

Kracer;52808125] Should have determined his level of honesty before the election. Doubt honesty was an important issue to single issue voters. Honesty being a matter of perception rather than fact in this land of lawyer driven politics and creative accounting.


Nj voters need to demand priorities of candidates and be able to take action when deliverables are not met. To hang a vote on a promise is folly.

I can't see that ever changing. It's in NJ's political DNA

......does not speak well for voters in either party. Is indicative of an electorate who wakes up to groundhog day after every vote.

Good analogy.

Why can't NJ's electorate set the bar higher than just being better than a failed governor?

Kneejerk responses regarding CC for every criticism of Murphy won't improve NJ in the least.

You're right but it is accurate. People demanding a Governor do more in 7-8 months on the job than the previous one did in his whole tenure in office.

Our esteemed former governor accomplished little--other than grandstanding, and insulting people during his 8 years in office.
He was never focused on the needs of anyone or anything--other than his ambitions for higher office--and he was essentially an absentee chief executive.

He collected his full salary while spending 72% of his time out of state in 2016. What a friggin' disgrace.
