      NJ Formally Outlaws Death Penalty

      New Jersey officially abolished the death penalty today, becoming the first state to ban capital punishment in the 4 decades since the US Supreme Court allowed the practice to resume. "Today, New Jersey is truly evolving," Gov. Jon Corzine said as he signed the measure, which sped through the legislature amid contentious debate in the glare of national media attention, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. More »

      NJ on Verge of Abolishing Death Penalty

      New Jersey's state assembly passed a bill today to abolish the death penalty, and Gov. Jon Corzine says he'll sign it into law within a week, the AP reports. Proponents of the bill, mainly Democrats, say the death penalty costs more than life imprisonment and can claim innocent victims; Republicans say the bill denies justice to families of murder victims.

      Bill’s Scads of Donations May Backfire on Hill

      Former President Clinton rakes in cash for his foundation, while a future President Clinton would have to deal with the appearance of influence-buying. Bill’s foundation isn’t required to divulge donors, and there's no apparent limit on a first spouse’s fundraising, but Salon reports many Clinton Foundation givers among Hillary’s elite—and says suspicions of impropriety are inevitable.

      Corzine: Do As I Say, Not As I Did

      Jon Corzine dodged a bullet, and he wants to make sure he isn't alone. The New Jersey governor, gravely injured in an SUV crash last month while not wearing a seatbelt, appears in a new 30-second TV ad that makes it clear he's learned his lesson. Today he joined the secretary of transportation to drive home the message: Buckle up. More »

      NJ Governor Paid Ex $6M

      Breaking up really is hard to do, especially if you're the governor of New Jersey and your ex is a state employees' union president. Jon Corzine and Carla Katz split up in 2004, and Katz got more out of their 2-year relationship than a threadbare couch and some mix tapes, the Times reports: a settlement worth more than $6 million.

      Corzine Crashed at 91 MPH

      Not only was Jon Corzine not wearing a seat belt, the SUV in which he was riding shotgun was clocked at 91 mph seconds before its crash last week. The trooper driving the New Jersey governor was going 26 mph over the limit on the Garden State Parkway—which he's allowed to do in an emergency. More »

      N.J. Governor Injured in Car Crash

      New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was critically injured last night after a pickup truck struck his motorcade. "He's in serious shape, but he's alive and going to survive," says state senate president Richard Codey, acting governor until Corzine can resume his duties—which could be weeks. Cops are still looking for the driver responsible for the crash, who took off. More »
