Yep - that's right! Our Jersey Republicans recently unearthed that our beloved Financial Genius of a Governor has spent $4 million on legal fees to firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meager and Flem (I mean Flom - another likely part of the Corzine Cosa Nostra).
That's $4 million that according to State Senator Steve Oroho "makes no sense whatsoever to be spending so much money in legal fees "for a plan that 75 percent of the people say they're not for - to me, that's way, way, way too much money on something that obviously we don't have the money to begin with."
He goes on to say that if we do the math, it amounts to $500,000 per month. I don't know about you - but Ohoro is right when he says that the average taxpayer like you and I should ask ourselves: Hmmm.. would I pay $548 dollars an hour for an attorney? On top of that, would I have 30 outside lawyers work on a plan that 75% of the people don't want?
So far we're talking $4 million dollars and we're still not likely done with being billed for this fiasco.
Oroho and other republicans are calling for the State Comptroller to immediately review the situation - especially because the firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom may still be planning to bill the State for an additional 4 million dollars worth of work.
