[quote="Starledger"]http://blog.nj.com/njv_editorial_page/2009/11/keeping_our_word_gov-elect_chr.html During this summer’s political campaign, Gov. Jon Corzine made a promise that was reckless in the face of a pending $8 billion budget gap. He signed a deal with state workers that shielded them from layoffs until the start of 2011. In return, he won their agreement to delay for one year a 3.5 percent raise that was due to them in July. It was a very Jersey move. He made a promise the state can’t afford. And instead of reducing government costs, he pushed them back a year. The workers will still get that 2009 raise, in addition to their 2010 raise. As bad as this story is, though, it may soon get worse..... http://blog.nj.com/njv_editorial_page/2009/11/keeping_our_word_gov-elect_chr.html[/quote]

Jon Corzine to learn details of the state's budget situation. <br />N.J. Gov-elect Chris Christie: Time of transition <br />The state Office of Legislative Services has estimated that if department budgets continue to grow at their current rate, there could be a shortfall of about $8 billion in the state budget that takes effect July 1. <br />Task force co-chairman Robert Grady, a former aide to President George H.W. Bush and Gov. Tom Kean, said he now believes the gap will be larger than that — even accounting for a start of an economic recovery that results in rising sales and income tax revenue. Grady did not have an estimate of how much he thought the shortfall would grow.... <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/11/nj_governor-elect_christie_tra.html" target="_blank">http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/11/nj_governor-elect_christie_tra.html</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun, Nov 15 2009, 2:14 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Keeping our word: Gov.-elect Chris Christie can be tough with state worker u</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Starledger wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"> <br />As bad as this story is, though, it may soon get worse..... <br /></td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />ZZZZzzzzz....wake me up when things get better.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Starledger</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Nov 13 2009, 9:55 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Keeping our word: Gov.-elect Chris Christie can be tough with state worker union</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"><a href="http://blog.nj.com/njv_editorial_page/2009/11/keeping_our_word_gov-elect_chr.html" target="_blank">http://blog.nj.com/njv_editorial_page/2009/11/keeping_our_word_gov-elect_chr.html</a> <br /> <br />During this summer’s political campaign, Gov.
