Yet very little credit is being given to the main person who led the charge against the Governor.

Steve Sweeney gets a LOT of flack on this "progressive" site ,but very little credit.

It is time to give the man his due.

This is from a M.Symons article which quotes Mr.Murray:

"He wasn't always going to restore. He didn't expect even a little bit of the blowback that he's getting from the people of the state. It's not so much us. The people of the state are angry at his cuts because they went too far," Sweeney said.

"There's an opportunity to restore more than what he's saying," Sweeney said. "The fact that he's feeling so much pressure now, because the cuts clearly were mean-spirited."

Murray said Christie's interest in defusing that phrase is why he spent the week mending fences."You can be a bully and still do good things, but mean-spirited means you're simply out to get somebody, regardless of what the impact would be on anybody else," Murray said.

"The budget cuts essentially handed the Democrats the ability to switch the tag that they used for Christie from bully to mean-spirited, and that is a much more effective public opinion tool to use."

Sweeney CLEARLY outmaneuvered the Governor and used public pressure to get those funds restored.

IF SWEENEY DID NOT GO ON HIS TIRADE DO YOU THINK THAT MONEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RESTORED?

Come on Blur Jersey ,can you show just a little Love???
