What would Gormley do?

The Star-Ledger reported today that Governor Jon Corzine is considering allow keno games in bars and restaurants as a way of increasing revenues, and James Whelan, who represents Atlantic County in the State Senate, has “registered his strong opposition to the plan,” the Ledger says. So here’s the question: what’s the difference between Whelan and predecessor Bill Gormley when it comes to strong opposition?

Whelan


Gormley would shut down the budget process completely to get his way. Doubtful Whelan would (or could) go that far, but Corzine won't get his vote, and maybe lose a few more SJ legislators for his budget.

a big difference


between the two men, Gormley would do what was right, Whelan and VanDrew will do what Norcross tells them to do.
