nearly 70,000 private sector jobs have been created in new jersey. we're once again creating a sense of optimism in our state. for the first time in ten year, a majority of new jersians recently polled believe the state is back on the right track. today that number is 53%. he cut spending in every department of state government. we reduced overall spending and by the first full budget by over 9%. not off projections of growth, off of baseline spending from a year ago. we cut education. we cut military affairs. we cut benefits for veterans. we cut everything. and folks told me those were the third rails of politics. i decided to go after entitlements. health care and pensions for public employees. this is when they told me this is going to be the real problem. we went out and put together common sense reform, but tough ones. folks now pay more into their pension. they had to actually pay for their health benefits. when i became governor, public employees were not required to pay anything, zero, for their health benefits. we said the retirement age had

attorney for new jersey on. september 10th, 2001. the job i accepted that day became different the next day when 900 new jerseyians were murdered in the world trade center. more citizens than any other state other than the state of new york. and in the intervening time broke up two major terror plots post-september 11th. when i say we must keep our resolve committed we must keep it committed to make sure we pay honor to those families and loved ones who gave their lives on september 11th. so i hope that this day of may 1st will help us to continue to remember that sometimes justice is slow but we should always be resolved to making sure that justice is certain and for osama bin laden may 1st a slow but certain justice for those citizens who were killed on that day happened. now, the image of the united states around the world doesn't begin and end with a day like that those. our image is directly tied to what we say. to what we do. and to who we are each and every day. all 365 of them. both at home and abroad. we no longer have the lu

in new jersey, this is what we are trying to do. we are hopefully setting example for the rest of the country. believe me, if people can do this in new jersey, we can do it anywhere. i do not want to hear excuses from anybody. we have 700,000 more democrats than republicans. we had an elected -- we had another elected a republican in 12 years before me. we're coming up on our 40th anniversary of electing a republican to the u.s. senate. 1972 was the last time new jersey said the republicans -- sent republicans to the senate. i do now to hear any other state crying that their state is so hard, we cannot do this. kempton new jersey, man, and be a republican. and, you will not hard. -- you will no hard. it can be done. that is where my optimism comes from. it is not about having everyone agree with you. i can guarantee you, the people in new jersey do not agree with everything i do and they do not always agree with the way i say it. but, they know i am telling the truth as i see it. i am not looking to be loved. i think politicians get

the men were -- cases were appealed to the new jersey supreme court. after the appeal the convictions were all overturned. they were tried again. this time four men were acquitted, two men were found guilty, and this time not sentenced to be electrocuted. they were sentenced to death at hard labor. these two appealed, their convictions were overturned again. this time one died in if -- in prison before he could be tried again, and he was the brother of the lady who got them help. the last one made a deal for time served. people think that this could not happen now, but i would refer you to the cases of the norfolk four that happened this century in virginia. so, unfortunately, not much has changed. the time period and the place are very important to this story. 1948 do 19353 -- 1948 to 1953. trenton, new jersey, was very southern. they had jim crow laws firmly in place. world war ii had ended only a few years previously. this is important because the main employer, robeling, who was famous for building the cables used in the brooklyn bridge, they were

yeah, new jersey. they voted in new jersey for about a generation from the 1770s to the early 1800s then were disenfranchised, i think i mentioned this. they were disenfranchised because a member of the new jersey state legislature had lost a race earlier and he blamed it on women voters for some reason. it was actually a kind of ordinary dispute about where to build a court house in a county in new jersey, but he vowed when he got into the state legislature he was going to take away the female suffrage and that's what he did. but stanton never mentions this. it doesn't come up at all at the meeting in seneca falls. she apparently didn't know it. even though she lived in new york most of her life, right next to new jersey, it's very strange. she apparently didn't know because if she did know that women had once voted in the united states surely she would have included it in her argument as to why women should vote. abigail adams knew it. she mentioned it in a letter in the 1790s. it's puzzling how it i
