S-1967 The Freedom of Religion in Civil Marriage bill was Governor Jon Corzine's last chance at leaving his indelible mark in the history of the State of New Jersey. With less than one week left, he just wanted to sign a bill that he wanted so badly to sign for the past four years. Surely the Democrat-led Congress would give him one last hoorah before he left. So did the bill pass?
NO
The final tally of the Gay Marriage bill, that sparked enough fight on both sides it could have been Yankees-Red Sox game, sums up the governorship of Jon S. Corzine in one word: FAILURE. Time and time again, Corzine's policies and decisions have proved to be disastrous. A few things come to mind when I think back on Jon Corzine's governorship: high taxes, COAH, and state shutdown. But the failure of the gay marriage bill, which should have been decided by the people, will stick out as the defining moment of the Corzine administration and how the people, who gave him the pink slip in favor of Chris Christie, scared the legislators in Trenton finally showing them who's really the boss.
The Freedom of Religion Bill in Civil Marriage and Governor Jon Corzine: two failures defeated by the people.
