Speaking on a conference call a few hours prior to joining congressional candidate Dennis Shulman to appeal to commuters at Hoboken Terminal, Senate President Dick Codey asked what New Jerseyans have to gain by sending U.S. Rep. Scott Garrett (R-Wantage) back for another term.
“If you look at it now, what do we gain by sending Garrett back? People in the Republican Party say he’s a marginal figure, and he’s a marginal figure in the minority,” he said.
Codey said that Garrett's stance in favor of privatizing social security and his vote against raising the federal minimum wage put him out of step with the district.
“If he had his way, people in his district would be making less than $5 per hour. That’s absurd,” said Codey (New Jersey’s minimum wage is already $7.15 per hour).
Responding to Garrett’s endorsement by former New York City mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, Codey offered one of his trademark zingers.
“Based on the political strategy that Rudy Giuliani used in his political campaign, I would hope he offered some tips to Mr. Garrett,” he said.

Typo
Garrett supports privatizing Social Security, not Shulman.
Who cares what Codey has to say....
how about that slushie fund Dick
Codey
endorsed Karcher too and stumped for her just before Beck beat her down. Maybe the facilitator of corrupt grant programs, the go-to guy for McGreevey on taxes, advice and consent, debt, and spending should pipe down a bit. He's not campagining in his base area any more.
Mr. Tax
This guy is Corzine, McGreevey, Florio and Byrne rolled into one. It's no surprise that a left-wing nut like Shulman would ask another left-wing nut like Codey to campaign for him.
