Response by Rick Thigpen

Public confidence in Governor Jon Corzine is good news for a Democratic majority currently facing the politically risky job of bringing New Jersey back from the brink of fiscal catastrophe.  A Governor with enormous credibility, particularly on financial matters, is just what the Democrats need if they are to correct the state's fiscal woes and live to tell the story.

This is an impressive first year for a Governor who has frequently been accused of being a political novice.  Maybe, Corzine's political secret is that trying to do the right thing can be good politics.
