Quote of the Day

Christie forcefully snubbed New Jersey’s largest teachers’ union, the NJEA, by refusing to even be interviewed for their endorsement. Then, he called for mass layoffs of state workers while Governor Corzine hammered out givebacks at the bargaining table… It remains to be seen whether Christie wants any allies in labor or whether he believes he doesn’t need union members to succeed as Governor to or to win reelection. He may decide that his rhetoric should become reality and he should treat unionized labor as the enemy for the next four years. It’s his call. If Christie chooses that path he politically endangers the many moderate Republican legislators who have made some good long-standing labor friends and who are up bat at the ballot box long before Christie will be.
