The Bill received overwhelming support in the Assembly as it did in the Senate. Some minor changes were made so the Senate has to agree to the changes and then the Bill will go to Hobbs' good friend, the Gov.
NJ Assembly Approves $25 Million for RU
- Thread starter RAA-1
- Start date
See...how hard was THAT ?
All you had to do was put one of the fatman's cronies in charge of the athletic program and we'd get more funding.

You do realize this was planned way before Hobbs and it was actually Lesniak ( who CC hates) that started it.
You don't get it, everything good that happens to Rutgers MUST have a negative spin on this site by some people.

And that is the problem as the fatman's cronies syphon the $ off the top
Why do you think Christie is so fat from skimming all the cream off of everything.
You got to Lov Jersey politics
Hey, but it will impress recruits with how passionate this forum is [/sarcasm]
Term runs until 2018, unless he is elected President. :rolleyes: Wonder if ultimate candidate for President would pick him as a running mate.
State of the State address today at 3 p.m. Live on www.app.com
no - he thinks he will resign shortly after he locks up the nomination this summer :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I can't say for sure, but I doubt Hobbes and Christie are "good friends." Hobbs is a Democrat. He was appointed Ombudsman at the recommendation of one of Christie's law firms. Hobbs has had a solid reputation on ethics and other issues.
Oh look, people taking political shots & making fat jokes after a Rutgers bill passed with overwhelming BIPARTISAN support.
They can't help themselves. Something about forest and trees.
Hobbs and Christie are good political friends. Not sure about personal, but who cares. They got the job done and will get some much needed funding for RU. Time to say, thank you Christie.
probably just a bit of nervousness pending the final outcome -
if this suddenly becomes a target of political sniping by some of the GOP candidates - it would not be the first time that there were headlines like:
Bill Passed New Jersey Legislature With Bipartisan Support But Posed Problems for Republican in Iowa
http://www.wsj.com/articles/gov-chris-christie-vetoes-pig-crate-ban-1417223391
its a historic day because when was the last time the state supported anything to do with RU athletics. Hobbs got the job for political reasons and is well equipped to navigate the NJ political waters. Thank Lesniak for this bill and the facility plan was set in motion by Barchi and Julie this June. However its obvious that someone had a sit down with Barchi about getting serious about athletics
The devil is in the details...would love to know what the "changes" are. Until we see the fine print it would not be out of order to be slightly concerned.
Agree with the 1st two sentences but I think the thanks should also go to the person who got in Lesniak's ear and whispered what to say/write.
And maybe the good doctor just saw the light on this?
Christie will have to see how the "base" in NH and Iowa feel before approving anything and change his opinion ten times before making a decision.
Ain't it the truth.
Not saying he'd ever do anything that most would appreciate but anyone think Christie's statement last year about RU starting to act like a B1G school had an effect on what we're seeing now?
