A New Day in Trenton?
A 'First Look' at New Jersey's
New Leadership...and Priorities
The Leadership New Jersey Graduate Organization invites you to participate in a special Spring edition of its annual Forum on the Future of New Jersey:
Mid-Year Forum on the Future of New Jersey
Wednesday, April 14th
Dodds Auditorium in Robertson Hall, Princeton University
8:00 AM to 1:00 PM
The elections of Chris Christie as Governor, Steve Sweeney as President of the Senate, and Sheila Oliver as Speaker of the Assembly have been hailed as harbingers of a "New Day" in Trenton.
Is it really a new day? Or is it actually "same old, same old"? And can bipartisan efforts solve New Jersey's daunting fiscal problems?
