Submitted by seth on Wed, 04/07/2010 - 7:23pm

CWA State Director Hetty Rosenstein testified in front of the Task Force on Privatization today, criticizing Governor Christie's reckless drive towards privatization that places ideolgy in front of the best interests of taxpayers. 

"Privatization of state government in New Jersey has been an almost unilateral disaster in terms of ethics, cost, services and accountability," Rosenstein said, before providing numerous examples of privatization schemes that have led to fraud, corruption, political patronage and abuse of taxpayer dollars.

When it Comes to Corruption, Christie Says One Thing, Does Another

Submitted by seth on Fri, 04/02/2010 - 3:47pm

By now we've all heard the narrative Chris Christie wants us to believe: He's a tough-minded reformer who wants to crack down on corruption and stop abuses of public money.  Christie made a living on the campaign trail talking about getting tough on corrupt public officials and kicking them off government payrolls.  And on that account, I fully agree.  Corrupt officials make things incredibly difficult for the vast majority of public workers who play by the rules.
