Corzine Backpedal

Just the other day Jon Corzine gave a statement on raising the gas tax.

"Given the recent spike in oil and gas prices that are squeezing family budgets, we must find other alternatives to raising the gas tax," Corzine's Monday statement read, adding that the state should consider selling assets such as land near train stations and major highways.

Now after getting pressure from union leaders he has backed off this position and said he would support a hike in the gas tax.

Even funnier than him backing off his previous position was him saying he wasn't backing off his previous statement.

"Corzine said yesterday that he was not reversing his position. He said again that rising oil prices and petroleum shortages make a gasoline tax increase an unattractive option. But he added, "You can't take the thing off" the table."

One of the reasons that people vote for millionaire clowns like this is because supposedly they can't be bought by the special interests. Not good ol' Jon. Mister "I'm for the little guy" is really for special interests at the expense of the taxpayers of the state. This guy's a joke!
