Governor addresses local officials by tape

Gov. Jon S. Corzine recently delivered remarks to local elected officials who gathered with the state Department of Community Affairs.

Here’s a story I wrote a couple of weeks ago about Gov. Jon S. Corzine’s proposed toll plan, and reaction from several local residents.
