Running New Jersey Like a Business

by: deciminyan

Sun May 01, 2011 at 03:06:09 PM EDT



Republicans are fond of saying that government should be run like a business.

Imagine a business where the CEO's second-in-command is so fiscally inept that when asked about the return on a $294,000 investment, she says, "We don't keep track of specifics." That person would be fired faster than you could say Ken Lay.

Well, that's exactly what Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno replied when asked about the money spent in a futile effort to attract business from Illinois to New Jersey.

Either Guadagno is a fiscally irresponsible leader, or she has so much disdain for New Jersey's taxpayers that she doesn't care. Or maybe she's just emulating her boss.

Which, of course, begs the question (0.00 / 0)

How impartial was she, really, in making the Carl Lewis decision?



Blog: Pick's Place
Go ask the Arts Council (0.00 / 0)
Didn't Board members or admins get hammered for not reporting a comp theater ticket if they attended as "representatives" of the Arts Council?  The LG was outraged at the lack of transparency as forms were not filled out reporting the use of a comp ticket to a community theater production, or something to that effect.
Wasn't it used as a reason/threat to significantly de-fund them, or remove staff?
