Carroll objects to Rutgers' $250k lobbyist

The announcement that Gov. Jon Corzine’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Jeannine LaRue, will join Rutgers University as a government relations advisor has drawn criticism from Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll, a Morris County Republican.

“Over the past several years, Rutgers has repeatedly come to the Legislature pleading poverty, complaining that spending cuts hurt students. Now, they spend $250,000 on what amounts to a lobbyist. That’s almost $100,000 more than the Governor’s authorized salary,” Carroll told PolitickerNJ.com. “Rutgers should spend more on its students and less – actually, none – lobbying the Legislature.” more >

You can't make this stuff up

Governor Jon Corzine is already getting a return on his investment. He announced this week that he would contribute $1 million to Rutgers University as part of his decision to help raise money to privately finance a stadium expansion. Now Rutgers has announced that they have hired Jeannine LaRue, Corzine’s Deputy Chief of Staff, for a new position to advise Rutgers on government relations at an annual salary of $250,000 – about double what she was making in the Governor’s office.

Before joining the Corzine administration, LaRue was the Senior Vice President of Goverment Affairs at the state's largest health care system, St. Barnabas, and was the lobbyist for the New Jersey Education Association.
