Who needs a seatbelt - doesn't God know that Corzine used to work at Goldman Sachs? Oh, but that would mean that God would have to care about New Jersey, which he clearly does not. Corzine was in the front passenger seat.

Codey for Govey!!

Maybe this is a sign that God really wants Codey to be NJ Governor! Three time's he's been the Acting Governor and yet he's not won a single election.

Honestly, we puts on their seatbelt when you're a rear seat passenger? We should but we don't. If you're in front then it's the law but I've never heard of it for rear seat passengers. Child seats excluded, there's laws for that.

Seriously, in this day and age, who is stupid enough to NOT wear a seatbelt? I mean, they've only been around for about 40 years now, and they've only been proven to save countless lives. I guess Corzine thinks he can throw his money at every problem, including his critical injuries.

State trooper that did "wounderful" job must be fired for not enforcing Seat belt law and Corzine must be ticketed

NY's Lieutenant Governor is David Patterson, who was previously a State Senator representing Harlem. Interesting facts: His father Basil Patterson was a prominent city politician and currently heads the labor practice at a LI law firm that Tom Suozzi's dad is a partner in; Patterson is legally blind. And the Duke case is interesting, but something I decided not to focus on because there were so many other stories. I might write something about it this weekend. As for Cinecultist's movie picks, there are movies in NYC!

#3, I was thinking the same thing! What are the odds that a legislator becomes Governor accidentally? Twice! BTW, who is New York's Lieutenant Governor? I can't even remember. Must be a low profile person.

The Garden State parkway is more of a speedway then a parkway. Cars travel at about 85 - 95 miles per hour on it. Why does the police do nothing? Because that is part of the great American dream. Chjeap gas, fast cars and waste waste waste.

How does a Govt. seriously enforce seatbelt laws when the Governor does not follow the law? Lead by example! But, then again his bad example may save a few lives of people who don't want to end up like Corzine. I think he should be issued a ticket for not wearing his seat belt. If it was me in the hospital all busted up, I bet some state trooper would show up with a ticket. Bring one to Corzine then have him make public service buckle up messages from the hospital.
