McGreevey will resign

Sorry...I'm slow today!

:kick:

:-)

Gay rape and blackmail. Sex harrassment claims by a male aid, who was widely rumored to be his lover for years.

Does anybody have a link for this yet?

N.J. Governor to Resign, Source Says

JOHN P. McALPIN

Associated Press

TRENTON, N.J. - Gov. James E. McGreevey will announce his resignation Thursday, a longtime friend and political adviser has told The Associated Press.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was one of several advisers and staff members who met with McGreevey throughout the afternoon to discuss his political future.

"He's made up his mind," the source said, just before the governor was to attend an afternoon news conference.

McGreevey, the state's 51st governor, took office 2 1/2 years ago, and despite inheriting a $5 billion budget deficit, he steadfastly refused to boost income taxes for most New Jerseyans, instead raising taxes on millionaires, casinos and cigarettes.

This is probably a good move.

We are as solidly dem as any state.

a conservative governor who had to quit for robbery and accepting/requiring bribes? All parties have people, and people are imperfect. This does not sound good: rape and harassment is bad for homosexuals and heterosexuals... and because there are more heterosexuals than homosexuals it happens more in the heterosexual population.

Definately a Democratic state.

eom

he's resigning not for the corruption scandel thats been been in the news in NJ but for a woman that will be coming forward with charges of harrassment....

who was accusing him of sexual harrassment...

than the gov of California.

for the same reason? Oh,that's right, only Dem. Gay Governors are persecuted. Excuuuse me!

I'm just holding my breath waiting for something to come out about him. What ever happened to the divorce rumor?

otherwise if he is just announcing he is gay--why should he resign?
