This story is about "all politics is local". This governor has been out there talking about government needs to be run like a "business" and needs to be ALL about serving citizens with good state and local services that are efficient and effective. Well the recent snow storm put him in a real jam when he did not return to his state from Disneyland. Citizens demand to know why he would not come back to NJ and do what he was saying he was doing--being the CEO of NJ. Well the question is would a business CEO really stay on vacation while her/his business faced a crisis or a collapse of services to their customers? Is that not what happened in NJ? Now the governor and the legislature are battling over local services guaranteed by the state and did the Governor and his team deliver. A classic Executive and Legislative branch conflict. Two lessons: be careful about what you say because in todays world of internet and 24 hour cable everything you say will be repeated over and over again. Second, all politics is local.
