Sweeney cares enough to take a hit.

State Senator Sweeney's plan to make the SHBP fair and solvent for ALL workers is taking hits from both the uninformed union people and the Republicans who want to have the government workers fix in one year what took 15 to destroy.

Sweeney has had to become like King Solomon. But read what he had to say in the Gloucester County Times and you be the judge:

Sweeney said Thursday he has not changed his initial position. He believes Christie should negotiate with the CWA because the outcome would likely have a domino effect on other unions and lessen the need for legislation.

Senate Democratic spokesman Chris Donnelly said Sweeney will take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that reform comes to all public employees, including those at the local level and those who are not members of CWA.

"True reform will mean everyone," said Donnelly, "The Senate president is committed to seeing taxpayer savings not just at the state level, but at the local level as well."

A real leader takes on the tough issues . Sweeney is right IF CWA AGREES THAT THEIR MEMBERS SHOULD PAY THEN ALL SHOULD PAY!!

As the crow flys? (0.00 / 0)

The only principled position is yours. OK, Now I get it.

Do you have anything else to offer to the conversation? Any other rebuttals to the issues raised before CPP starts in again with death and destruction, plots and child labor, fire and brimstone.

The CWA PLAN:
1. CWA and only CWA (again)

The SWEENEY PLAN:
1. Graduated for income
2. Immediate Statewide taxpayer relief

It's so simple a voter could understand it.

I'd laugh... (0.00 / 0)

but the sweeney worship is too nauseating to allow a giggle.
And if it weren't for the fact that FA07 is serious, I'd think it were an April fools joke.

Sweeney is a self-serving Norcross puppet with aspirations greater than his worth.

If we don't stand together, we fall alone
That didn't last long.

There is no reform going on here... just punishment.

That's just mean. Kindly dial it back, okay?

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

Mean? (0.00 / 0)

It is clearly in poor taste, but I don't know if it is mean, per se.
