| Governor Christie won't tell the lie of "The Jersey Comeback" on Tuesday at the Republican National Convention in Florida. |
It's all there in today's paper, but don't expect the editors of The Record to connect the dots and expose their favorite governor of all time.
Governor Christie has dropped all pretense of sparking "The Jersey Comeback" amid an unprecedented drop in middle-class incomes and concentration of wealth at the top, according to two of today's Page 1 stories.
To find out how the GOP bully feels about all of this just turn to the A-6 photo of an obese Christie laughing it up with Senate President Stephen Sweeney, who is about half of the governor's size.
High legal fees
In the only A-1 story not related to Christie, the editors give readers a rare glimpse of how lawyers always make out like champs in legal settlements -- this one for a former Little Leaguer from Wayne.
More than $4.7 million of the $14.3 million settlement will be going to lawyers for the man, who almost died when he was hit by a ball in 2006 and remains "nearly blind and in a wheelchair."
Bogota rules
In head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes' Local section, there are two major stories from Bogota (L-1 and L-2), but only one from Hackensack (L-2) -- the fourth straight day of coverage on legal fallout from Ken "I Am The Law" Zisa's years as police chief.
Staring out the windows of the Woodland Park newsroom, the assignment desk -- run by Sykes and her deputy, Dan Sforza -- appears to be at a loss on how to direct Hackensack reporter Stephanie Akin to cover anything but Zisa and the city's Police Department.

Eye on The Record will return soon
Just for the record (pun intended) the problems with my daily newspaper delivery have been resolved and I am getting the paper before 6 a.m.!
ReplyDeleteThat's great. I haven't had delivery problems, but today, even though the paper was in two bags and they were loosely knotted shut, the upper left corners of all the sections were soaked through.
ReplyDeleteI laid out the sections to dry, then called for a replacement, just to bust their chops. The dry paper was waiting when I got back from the gym at 9:30.
