Come clean on toll road study

November 15, 2007

Daily Record [Parsippany, NJ]

A press release arrived Tuesday with this headline:

"DeCroce says Assembly Republican lawyers will be in court Friday seeking toll road report." That would be Alex DeCroce of Parsippany, the Assembly minority leader.

Clearly, it never should have gotten this far. At issue is a state consultant's report on what the Corzine administration calls "asset monetization." That would be selling or leasing state toll roads in hopes of a huge windfall.

Gov. Jon Corzine has refused to release the report. He also has refused to talk about it.

It's hard to figure out why. Not releasing a report, not talking about an important issues; this fails government 101.

Now, the administration is scheduled to argue in court that a report paid for by the taxpayers should be kept confidential. That is a tough argument to make.
