FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Juliet Johnson October 28, 2001 732-404-0477 NEW JERSEY NEWSPAPERS: McGREEVEY CLEAR CHOICE FOR GOVERNOR Every major newspaper in the New Jersey area, including the Newark Star-Ledger, the Bergen Record, the New York Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer, have endorsed Jim McGreevey for Governor. The papers said McGreevey's responsible approach for improving public schools, tackling auto insurance rates and making sure state government is managed well make him the right choice to lead New Jersey during the next four years. The papers also drew the stark contrast between McGreevey and Bret Schundler on major issues of concern to New Jersey's families - fighting for public schools vs. abandoning them with a reckless private school voucher scheme; fighting for good drivers vs. letting auto insurance companies decide rates; protecting a woman's right to choose vs. making abortion illegal even in the cases of rape and incest, and; protecting New Jersey's tough gun laws vs. allowing people to carry concealed weapons. "The endorsements of every major newspaper show that Jim McGreevey is the only candidate for Governor who will fight for New Jersey's families, and that he shares their values on critical issues - improving public schools, fighting for drivers not auto insurance companies, making sure that government lives within its means, protecting a woman's right to choose and keeping concealed guns out of our communities," said Steve DeMicco, McGreevey for Governor campaign director.
