Listening to the Republicans berate public servants was difficult, but I'm used to hearing the crazy rhetoric that comes from the right. More disappointing was listening to the Nordubato Democrats try to justify their position.

But in between the anti-union rhetoric, there were some enlightened Assemblypersons who stood up to defend the state employees. One such person was Assemblyman Joe Cryan. Cryan spoke from the heart about the impact the Governor's actions would have on working New Jersey families.

This past Sunday, I was privileged to meet the assemblyman at a fundraiser for Marie Corfield, another passionate Democrat who will join Cryan in the legislature next year. Here are some of Cryan's remarks.
