The article opens with this doozy: “The centerpiece of the campaign of the New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Mikie Sherill, is her promise to “declare a state of emergency on utility costs and freeze your utility rates” on her first day in office.”
Now, that quote was said almost verbatim by her opponent Jack Ciatarelli. Like word for word. And, at the time, every single republican was cheering him for it. Heck, even president Trump said that he’ll “cut energy costs in half” during his 2024 campaign. The article then goes on to say that “there will be hidden losers of a utility rate freeze, as well: The owner/shareholders of New Jersey’s four electric utilities. The value of their shares and dividends would inevitably decline if a tourniquet were put on utility revenue.”
So now all of the sudden we need to worry about the poor shareholders? So lowering utilities is now anti democratic? Every single republican was demanding that utility rates were too high and they needed to be lowered and that Jack was the only one who can do it. Did Trump not care about the shareholders?
I am amazed on a daily basis at the naked hypocrisy displayed by the media and the public at large. One just needs to go back and read comments on this very blog to see how ****** this article really is.
I’m sorry admin but this isn’t a “Great Article about who we voted for in NJ and NYC”, it’s a Monday morning quarterback session that literally invents a false history in an attempt to malign two people; one who hasn’t even started her job yet and the other who’s been on the job for less than two weeks. Maybe this fortune telling pundit should wait a few months before declaring them failures? Or at least be honest about what was said by BOTH sides during the campaign.
Yes she did! She also said she would end the Ukraine war and lower the cost of groceries on day one!!!
Oh wait, that wasn’t her, that was someone else. Never mind
Here are the things your lord and savior Donald John Trump has stated. All accurate and easily searchable.
“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”
“Under my administration, we will be slashing energy and electricity prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months”
“Prices will come down. You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”
“Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable again.”
“We’re going to get your energy prices down. We’re going to get your energy prices down by 50%.”
“We will eliminate regulations that drive up housing costs with the goal of cutting the cost of a new home in half”
“A vote for Trump means your groceries will be cheaper”
“BE COOL! Everything is going to work out well. The USA will be bigger and better than ever before!”
How’s that going for y’all now that we’re *checks calendar* 12 months in?
And BTW, WE don’t live in NYC, so WE didn’t vote for anyone.
Careful LHD. The few remaining (fewer and fewer every day) MAGA cultist get very triggered when you point out the hypocrisy they all so willingly embrace.
The last American presidents were Jack Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Ever since then we’ve had nothing but a collection of incompetents and actual traitors (LBJ). Oh yeah, two draft dodgers, Bill Clinton (Clinton was actually drafted but pulled strings and got himself out of it, thereby having somebody else go in his place) and this guy Trump, “bone spurs.”
Nixon? Really? He was a paranoid nut who orchestrated a break in at the watergate hotel to spy on the competition and the lied about it.
That’s your top guy?
I agree with the rest of it though. Clinton and Trump were draft dodgers. Trump is the worst kind of draft dodger because he pretends to be brave while sending other people off to fight his battles. The epitome of cowardice.
From WSJ today: Consumer prices rose 2.7% in December from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday, unchanged from November.
So yea he used his wealth and station to dodge the draft, and yea ok he was very close with the worlds most famous sex trafficker, and sure he is trying to break the separation of powers that is the cornerstone of the constitution, but at least he is keeping inflation nice and high.
DJT the greatest president of the last 11 and 1/2 months! ‘Merica!!
Wow. So in 1962-3 your income from interest was taxed? With just a little quick math here, assuming in order to actually have interest to tax, you would have to be at least 23-25 years old, would put you on the edge of 90. I’m surprised you remember that happening. Especially since it didn’t. The tax act you’re referring to was passed by Johnson. But hey, you’ve never been a big fan of facts and stuff.
Your post is almost as silly as Mr D suggesting he actually liked Kennedy. JFK’s inaugural address reads like a list of ideas and hopes that are diametrically opposed to everything Mr D has ever said. I can’t tell if his proclamation of respect for Kennedy is sarcasm or something else.
It does. It costs more because the government subsidies are significantly less than the amount given to fossil fuel companies.
Thats an important fact that is ignored by everyone who defends fossil fuel consumption.
Her and Murph the Surf are delusional.
DON’T VOTE!!!

Day one she promised to freeze and lower electric bills. Anxious to see my February bill.
Yes she did! She also said she would end the Ukraine war and lower the cost of groceries on day one!!!

Donald J. Trump. Best President in American history!

Oh yes. Kennedy taxed my interest income
Sir, not everything in this world is about money.

clean electric costs more
It does. It costs more because the government subsidies are significantly less than the amount given to fossil fuel companies.
Thats an important fact that is ignored by everyone who defends fossil fuel consumption.
Please explain fossil fuel subsidies
