Government Reform Thoughts

After the general election in November, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine has a plan to sell public assets such as the New Jersey Turnpike to balance the budget. The details of his scheme, called monetarization, are so esoteric that State Senator Tom Kean, Jr. has filed a Freedom of Information petition with the Federal government in attempt to uncover the details.

The Governor has written language into this year's budget that permits him to commit expenditures of unlimited amounts for legal and financial fees to arrange the contracts for the sale. We believe that a proposal of this scope should require voter approval in a statewide referendum.

We question that the NJ Constitution permits authorization of expenditures of unlimited amounts. We question that the constitution permits borrowing or sale of assets for the purpose of meeting operating expenses. As such, is the Governor exceeding his constitutional authority? - See year-to-date reform thoughts.
