Another Sweeney failure

Sweeney voted yes (1.00 / 1)

Sweeney backed Weinberg. Voted with her.

Want to blame someone, blame the totally ineffective 6 month battle against this privatization by the Union that represented these people.

Another failure, you bet!

ANOTHER CWA FAILURE!

No mobilization of membership to help these members.

Total silence up until 2 weeks before the final deal.

Talk to NJN employees, they were left alone to fight.

Broken record time (0.00 / 0)

Sweeney voted yes.  Whoopdedoo  He's not just some backbencher.  He's leader.  And his failure to get 21 votes was a leadership failure.  He was mute and inactive throughout.  

Even Oliver got it through her house.  And she's as lackluster a leader as we've had.  Sweeney totally failed.

Union Failed (0.00 / 1)

The CWA once again failed to persuade enough legislators to vote for something that was in their interest.

The NJN employees were mostly CWA.

Where was the CWA leadership last night? Home? Sleeping?

Could they not have gotten two more votes?

Sweeney supported NJN. Did CWA?

Sweeney/christie cut a deal and cwa is the problem? (0.00 / 0)

It's clear that sweeney didn't do much because christie wanted the bill passed.  Soon the facts that sweeney is getting paid off in some way by christie will come out.

Lie! (0.00 / 1)

Sweeney didn't support njn (0.00 / 0)

Yes, he voted for it, but that was for show.  The real deal happened behind the scene with christie's payoff of sweeney and norcross.

LOL. You were " behind the scene" (0.00 / 0)

Were you " in the room". You talk silly and just make up stories.

SWEENEY VOTED TO SAVE NJN!

Senators vote (0.00 / 0)

And Sweeney failed to gather enough votes.  Did he even try?  Was this another deal he cut with his buddy Christie?  A favor for Stevie, Sr.?  Or all the above?

Even hapless Oliver got her caucus to vote down the deal.  Sweeney, the incompetent sellout, couldn't do it.

Why not go after Gill ,Cunningham,and Ruiz? (0.00 / 0)

What's with that?

Is it against some left wing code to go after them?

South Jersey stood strong for NJN!

Let me break it down (0.00 / 0)

Ruiz -> Audubato

Stack -> Christiecrat (no one is worse)

Gill, Cunningham...???

Ruiz is very corrupt, Stack has no principles at all. Neither we nor their constituents need them.

Gill and Cunningham (0.00 / 0)

I've yet to see an investigation into why they voted the way they did.  Maybe NJN news can look into it.  Oh, wait.

Best bet is to check their bank accounts, or whether their names have been added as titleholders to any real property.

bank accounts are private and (0.00 / 0)

I would leave that to Fishman.

Campaign accounts on the other hand are a few clicks away.

I'll be watching

I was being somewhat facetious (0.00 / 0)

But only somewhat.

Also don't be surprised if Gill or Cunningham has a show, or is some type of regular, on Adubato TV.

Found the answer as to Gill (0.00 / 0)

She does legal work for Essex County.

http://www.salon.com/news/poli...

So, her fees are safe and will probably increase.  But none dare call it corruption.

That leaves only Cunningham.
