Best and Worst Governors of the Past 25 Years: New Jersey

[MAINEiac4434]

Land of corruption.

In the one week between the expiration of DiFrancesco's term and McGreevey's inauguration, three people acted as Governor. I did not list them.

I think Christie's gonna run away with worst. For best, I have no idea.

[Kingpoleon]

1. Christine Todd Whitman
2. Donald DiFrancesco
3. Richard Codey
4. Jim McGreevey


5. James Florio
6. Jon Corzine
7. Chris Christie

Whitman/Christie

Christie really should have been charged with manslaughter for Bridgegate...people died, for goodness sake.

[Zioneer]

Codey sounds like he was a good guy during his short time as Governor.
