Background Information

Corzine/Weinberg is a team we need to go forward in difficult times. The other major candidates have attacked public employees and the right to have a union. Moreover, Corzine followed the guidelines in order to have federal stimulus money support higher education institutions, while Chris Christie has said he would have refused that critical infusion of resources.
