    This guy is a joke.
    Enjoy the insane economical fall out that is occurring/about to occur in NJ.
    This state was already in a very precarious position financially and this pos has truly nailed the coffin.
    The only people who will stay in NJ to be locked down any longer are either too dumb or too poor to afford to move.
    NJ is a joke, a broke polluted joke.
    Enjoy your tax hikes and illegal immigrant take over.
    This place is trash.
