How many people did “Governor for 90 Minutes Farmer” pardon? How many Governor’s Balls did he and his wife, “The First Lady of New Jersey” host? I ask for a reason.
“Governor For 84 Hours John O. Bennett” found the time to pardon at least one of his friends & financial contributors. “Governor For 84 Hours Bennett” also found time to move into Governor’s mansion and host a party or two while “Governor.” How many parties did “Governor for 90 Minutes Farmer” and his wife, “The First Lady of New Jersey,” host in the Governor’s Mansion? Did “Governor for 90 Minutes Farmer” also find the time to vacation in the Governor’s Beach House?

After the outstanding job Alan Rosenthal did as redistricting tie breaker, it’s good that his counsel is succeeding him. Why waste time with hearing, and the other 12 “partisan” members meetings? Just have the Dems send their map to Farmer so he can rubber stamp it.
