NJ Dems puzzled by New Jerseyans lack of wanting more taxes.

Politics: Hilarious they were so arrogant that the people would welcome stem cell research they broke ground before the vote was taken.

On Wednesday, Mr. Corzine, Senate President Richard J. Codey and other supporters of stem cell research said they had little choice but to ask the state’s pharmaceutical companies to help finance the effort and then try to squeeze money from a budget that is already facing a $3 billion shortfall. “I do have concerns that the delay may very well limit us in a competitive world," Mr. Corzine said at a State House news conference. He said he still believed that most residents supported the concept of stem cell research despite the objections of anti-abortion groups and the Roman Catholic Church. And he did not rule out putting the measure back on the ballot at some point, although Mr. Codey later told reporters that would not happen next year. Democrats said the rejection of the stem cell measure taught them a broader lesson: that voters are frustrated by the bleak fiscal landscape in a state saddled with $30 billion in debt, and they do not trust Trenton to fix the problem. “They’ve told us to resolve our alarming and pressing financial problems,” Mr. Corzine said.

This place will be built come hell or high water and the people will take the political elite for it.
