"I would have hoped that Chris Christie would have learned, now one year on the job, that there is a difference between being a leader and being a complainer.  I am disappointed," said Wisniewski.  "Constantly, we hear the Governor complain that someone else isn't doing their job when he in fact isn't doing his.  He chose to default on two year's worth of pension payments and now he wants to blame public employees, the Speaker, the Senate President, and who knows who else. When will this Governor learn that the buck stops at his desk? That his choice to cut funding to education and municipal aid has caused property taxes to skyrocket 23%.  That his demonizing public employees has made any compromise with them all but impossible. That his veto of job creation legislation has left New Jersey residents without the jobs they need," Wisniewski continued. "I'd like to see this Governor lead this state and stop blaming everyone for why he can't."
