Prosperity is dead
We might as well all just quit working, saving, investing and inventing. Prosperity is dead.
It must be true. I read it in the Asbury Park Press.
Governor Christie killed it, according to the Neptune Nudniks in their editorial, A death blow for prosperity, by killing the ill conceived ARC tunnel project that would have boosted New York’s economy while New Jersey tax payers paid the open ended bill.
What a bunch of hyperbole.
As if it wasn’t bad enough that Monmouth and Ocean counties don’t have a reliable and trustworthy news organization to serve the region, the head Nudnik wants to export his special brand of propaganda throughout the nation. Hollis Towns, the Executive Editor of the Neptune Nudniks was recently elected president of the Associated Press Managing Editors.
“I’m thrilled to be elected president of an organization with such a rich history and bright future,” said Towns, 46. “I plan to build on the successes of the past year by growing the membership, extending our reach and launching an important national reporting project with The Associated Press.”
Good grief. Did the APME members read his rag before electing him? This nudnik is going to launch an important national reporting project with the internationally syndicated Associated Press?
You have some nerve talking about a bunch of hyperbole with some of the guest bloggers you let loose and their nasty headlines.
You know which one’s I’m talking about.
I welcome Sen. Lautenberg’s proposal to probe the decision to terminate this project. However, such a probe should also examine why NJ ever agreed to fund this tunnel construction.
I question the motivations behind the tunnel. The motivations of the construction workers I understand. However, I think there should be an examination of exactly who else would benefit from the construction. Who owned land that would become more valuable because of the project either because the state would buy land or because the land would be next to the station? Who would benefit from contracts? These questions also need to be answered.
