Is Corzine different

Bob Braun has a column in the Ledger today that praise Corzine for freezing $80 million in state aid to Newark that sharp James was going to move to an agency that he controlled. Braun showed this as an example of how Corzine was a differnt Democratic governor. (link will be supplied when the Ledger provides it.)

On the same page there was this story.

Newark mayor, council to meet with Corzine
Newark Mayor Sharpe James and the nine-member City Council will meet with Gov. Jon Corzine in Trenton today to discuss $80 million the city tried to spend on redevelopment projects before the state halted the action.

The money has become a major issue in the city’s mayoral campaign, in which all council seats and the mayor’s office at stake May 9.

James, who also is a state senator, has accused Corzine’s administration of illegally meddling in the city’s affairs at the behest of James’ nemesis, mayoral candidate Cory Booker. James is not seeking re-election as mayor.

Should be interesting to see if our Governor is really a differnt sort of Governor.
