[Deborah Howlett] also acknowledged she has not read the messages. So how does she know there's nothing interesting about them? "Because I take the governor at his word," Howlett said. "You guys [reporters] don't do that." Then she laughed at the irony.
Last year, when Howlett was a reporter for The Star-Ledger of Newark, she was among the first reporters to file a formal "public records" request to compel the Corzine administration to release e-mail exchanges between the governor and Carla Kati, a state-worker union leader who Corzine dated before becoming governor.

An obscure financing wing of Bergen County government that has been implicated in a mortgage-fraud case has accumulated a debt of about $450 million -- a 45-fold increase from its debt 10 years ago.

Hispanic leaders are warning that Governor Christie's proposed budget cuts will devastate their communities by leaving little or no funding for programs that assist the unemployed, disabled and the destitute, among others.
Leaders are particularly concerned about the pending elimination of the Center for Hispanic Policy, Research and Development, which funnels funds to some 40 agencies that they say serve about 300,000 mostly low-income Latinos annually. The 35-year-old department, they note, is the only state agency that focuses on Hispanics.
