Shutdown of state government

Main article: 2006 New Jersey State Government shutdown

Corzine, in attempting to pass the 2007 fiscal year budget, came into conflict with fellow state Democrats in the New Jersey General Assembly, particularly over the proposed increase of the state's sales tax from 6% to 7%. The 2006 New Jersey State Government shutdown was the first shutdown in the history of the state of New Jersey. The New Jersey General Assembly is the Lower house of the New Jersey Legislature. Corzine stated that he would not accept a budget that did not include the sales tax increase. After the legislature failed to pass Governor Corzine's budget by the midnight deadline of July 1, 2006, he signed an executive order[17] that immediately closed down all non-essential state government services, such as road construction projects. "July 1st" redirects here For the Ayumi Hamasaki song see H (song. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Legislators failed to resolve the situation by July 4 and casinos, among other governmentally-regulated industries, closed their doors at 8:00 am on July 5. [18] Governor Corzine called the shutdown "deplorable," though he refused to negotiate with legislators and accept alternate plans that did not increase the sales tax. It is estimated that the state lost several millions of dollars of revenue every day the casinos remained closed. Some surmised the casino closure was an effort to encourage reluctant South Jersey legislators to break the impasse. [3].

After six days of the New Jersey state government being shut down Corzine and Assembly Democrats reached an agreement on the state budget. The compromise raised the state sales tax from 6% to 7% with half of the 1% increase going to the state budget and the other half going to property tax relief. On July 8, 2006, the $30 billion dollar state budget, with the sales tax agreement, passed both houses and Governor Corzine signed the budget into law ending the budget impasse.

Appointments

U. S. Senate replacement

Corzine continued to serve in the U. S. Senate while running for Governor, which ensured that he could resign from the Senate and appoint a successor if he won, and allow him to retain his Senate seat if he lost.

Initial speculation was that he would appoint a Democrat from one of the congressional districts in New Jersey, such as Congressmen Rob Andrews, Rush Holt, or Frank Pallone. Robert Ernest "Rob" Andrews (born August 4, 1957) is an American Democratic Party Politician from New Jersey, Rush Dew Holt Jr (born October 15 1948, Weston West Virginia) is an American Democratic Party Politician and the Frank Pallone Jr (born October 30, 1951 in Long Branch, New Jersey) is an American Democratic Politician, who Governor Richard Codey had also been touted, though on November 23, 2005, he announced that he was not interested in pursuing the seat.

Corzine insisted he did not ask for Farber's resignation (NY Times 8/15/06, Laura Manserus & David W. Chen). [23]

UMDNJ Board

On February 9, 2006, after many scandals regarding financial mishandling had emerged at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Corzine nominated Robert Del Tufo, the former Attorney General of New Jersey and U.S. Attorney, as chairman of the board of trustees.

Abolition of capital punishment

[26]

Just before the enactment of the new law, he commuted the death sentences of all death row inmates to life in prison[27]. Death row is a term that refers to the section of a Prison that houses individuals awaiting execution. This decision raised some controversy.

Polling data and approval

After taking office in January of 2006, Corzine's approval numbers were low for a new governor. Many polls seemed to indicate that much of this negative polling was a direct result of the 2006 New Jersey State Government shutdown. The 2006 New Jersey State Government shutdown was the first shutdown in the history of the state of New Jersey.

Corzine's chief of staff Tom Shea said he did not believe the governor had been wearing his seat belt. Friends of the governor have long said that they have rarely seen him wear one. [39] "If he was not, he certainly should have been", Shea said, "and we would encourage the state police to issue a citation". The New Jersey State Police ( NJSP) is the State police force for the state of New Jersey. A summons (also in Britain known as a claim form) is a legal document issued by a court (a judicial summons) or by an administrative agency of government (an When asked why the state trooper who was driving would not have asked Corzine to put on his seat belt, Shea said the governor was "not always amenable to suggestion". [40] The Superintendent of State Police has also noted that the trooper could be charged in connection with the accident if it is determined that the crash was preventable.

Corzine was released from the hospital on April 30, 2007. Events 313 - Roman emperor Licinius unifies the entire Eastern Roman Empire under his rule Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. [41] He recuperated at the Governor's Mansion in Princeton, which had been modified (at Corzine's own expense) to include both equipment that Corzine will need as part of his recovery as well as a videoconferencing center to allow him to communicate with New Jersey legislators. A videoconference (also known as a videoteleconference) is a set of interactive Telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to interact [42] Shortly after his release from the hospital, it was reported by New York Post columnist Leonard Greene that the Governor's motorcade, while traveling on Interstate 295 en route to Drumthwacket, was clocked by unnamed non-police motorists at a speed of 70 MPH while in a 55 MPH zone. The New York Post is the 13th-oldest Newspaper published in the United States and generally acknowledged as the oldest to have been published continually Interstate 295 (abbreviated I-295) in New Jersey and Delaware is a bypass route from a junction with Interstate 95 south of Wilmington [43]

Corzine issued a public apology and voluntarily paid a $46 ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. [44]. Corzine shot a public service announcement, opening with the blunt statement "I’m New Jersey Gov. A public service announcement (PSA or community service announcement (CSA is a non-commercial advertisement broadcast on radio or television ostensibly for the Public Jon Corzine, and I should be dead. "[45]

Controversy

Gifts

In September 2007, Corzine admitted that he had given $15,000 to Rocco Riccio, a former state employee who had been fired, supposedly for snooping in income tax returns for political purposes, and was also the brother-in-law of Corzine’s former mistress, Carla Katz, president of the Communications Workers of America Local 1034, [46], which bargains on behalf of many state employees. Carla A Katz (born 1959 served as president of Local 1034 of the Communications Workers of America from 1999 until 2008 representing 16000 public and private sector workers Communications Workers of America (CWA is the largest communications and media labor union in the United States (the union also has locals in Canada [47]

Corzine had already given Katz cash to buy a $1. 1 million condominium, set up a trust to educate her children, provided a 2005 Volvo sport utility vehicle, and forgiven a $470,000 loan, so that she could buy her former husband’s share in their house in Hunterdon County after her relationship with Corzine ended in 2004. A condominium, or condo, is a form of Housing tenure and other Real property where a specified part of a piece of real estate (usually of an apartment A sport utility vehicle ( SUV) is a generic marketing description for a rugged automotive vehicle similar to a Station wagon but built on a light-truck chassis Hunterdon County is a County located in the US state of New Jersey. [48]

Toll Hike Plan

On January 8, 2008, Corzine announced a plan to raise some $38 billion by leasing the Garden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike, and other toll roads for at least 75 years to a new, nominally private, off-the-balance-sheet entity that could sell bonds secured by future tolls, which it would be allowed to raise by 50% plus inflation every four years beginning in 2010, after he is safely reelected or out of office. The Garden State Parkway ( GSP) is a 1724-mile (277-km limited-access toll Parkway that stretches the length of New Jersey from the New York The New Jersey Turnpike (or simply The Turnpike as it is known to New Jersey residents is a Toll road in New Jersey and is one of the most heavily traveled A toll road, (also known as a tollway, turnpike, pike, or toll highway, especially if it is constructed to Freeway standards BOND (Building Object Network Databases started development in late 2000 as a Rapid application development tool for the GNOME Desktop by Treshna In economics inflation or price inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services over a period of time For the film see 2010 The Year We Make Contact. For the book see 2010 Odyssey Two. [49],[50]

Corzine vowed to get that plan through the state legislature by March, but held off for nearly a month before releasing the details. [51] Upon learing how the plan would work, New Jersey residents railed against it, comparing it to using one credit card to pay off another, pointing out that it would create hardship for commuters, and noting that it would actually increase the state's $32 billion debt. [52],[53], [54]

Arrest of a Political Opponent

On January 19, 2008, Middle Township, NJ police arrested former Bogota, NJ mayor Steve Lonegan and a radio personality for leading 10 picketers in a protest against Governor Corzine’s toll hike plan in front of a school in Cape May County NJ. Middle Township is a township in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. Bogota is a Borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. A mayor (from the Latin māior, meaning "greater" is a modern title used in many countries for the highest ranking officer in a municipal government Steve Lonegan (Born April 27, 1956 in Teaneck New Jersey) was the mayor of Bogota, New Jersey, a small community just west of Cape May County is the southernmost County in the US state of New Jersey. [55], [56]

The mayor of Middle Township explained that police had acted at the behest of Corzine staffers, but Corzine denied that, and the township police pointed to school officials, who in turn cited “event security guidelines issued by the New Jersey State Police. The New Jersey State Police ( NJSP) is the State police force for the state of New Jersey. ” The State Police promised to investigate.

Less than two weeks later, Corzine was publicly joking about Lonegan's arrest at a January 31 dinner in Washington, D.C. "Frankly, we can only raise so much by forcing Steve Lonegan to put up bail," quipped Corzine. Washington DC ( formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D [60]. The Middle Township Police Department issued a formal apology to Lonegan for the wrongful arrest.
