TRENTON, N.J. - The sport utility vehicle carrying Gov. Jon S. Corzine was traveling about 91 mph moments before it crashed, the superintendent of state police said Tuesday.

The governor was critically injured when the vehicle crashed into a guardrail on the Garden State Parkway just north of Atlantic City last week. He apparently was not wearing his seat belt as he rode in the front passenger's seat.

The speed limit along that stretch of the parkway is 65 mph.

The state trooper-driven SUV was in the left lane with its emergency lights flashing when a pickup tried to get out of its way. Instead, it set off a chain reaction that resulted in the crash.

Corzine broke his left thigh bone, 11 ribs, collarbone and chest bone. He also fractured a vertebrae in his lower back.

He remained in critical but stable condition Tuesday and doctors were assessing when he might be ready to breathe without a ventilator. Spokesman Anthony Coley said Tuesday the governor was showing improvement.

Doctors have said he doesn't have brain damage or paralysis, and is doing well for someone who sustained so many injuries.

The driver, Trooper Robert Rasinski, could be charged if the state police Motor Vehicular Pursuit Review Board determines the crash was preventable, Superintendent of State Police Col. Rick Fuentes said.

Fuentes said speed was a factor in the accident. A black box inside the SUV recorded the speed of the SUV five seconds before the crash. He said the executive protection unit has the discretion to move through traffic by stepping up their speed and using flashing lights when necessary.

"If it's a non-emergency situation, we would ask them to obey the traffic laws and the speed laws in the interest of safety," he said.

Rasinski and an aide to the governor were not seriously hurt. The trooper will remain out of work until he is cleared by a doctor to return, Fuentes said.

The driver of the pickup truck was not charged.

There is no timetable for when Corzine may be able to resume governing the state. Sen. President Richard J. Codey is acting governor.

Once Corzine is breathing unassisted, he should be able to speak. That milestone would make it possible for physical therapists to do more to help him regain use of his leg — a process expected to take up to six months.

Corzine, a 60-year-old former investment banker, gave up his seat in the U.S. Senate to become governor in 2006.

So what we have here is one of the privileged ruling elite rushing along the highway in blatant disregard of the speed limits and ignoring a seat belt law.

Does anybody recall where he was going when this incident occured? I do.

It must've been an extreme emergency to travel at around 100 mph to meet with the Rutgers women's basketball team.

Hypocrisy at it's best, I would think.

Ticked troopers threaten ticket blitz


Some state troopers, feeling they have been publicly ridiculed for the accident that almost killed Gov. Jon S. Corzine, appear to be plotting a ticket blitz against the public this month, followed by a slowdown in June, according to a chilling series of anonymous online postings.

And the state's top trooper says he won't tolerate it.

"Great idea," wrote a person posting under the name "soundsgood." "Absolutely hammer everyone (obviously except cops and family) who does 1 m.p.h. over the limit. . . . Let's really give them something to complain about."

"I am all for the May 1st blitz. . . . Better start pre-signing my summonses," wrote another poster going by the handle of "reckrids."

"Everyone has to take part in this," wrote "20alphabravo." "We are taking an absolute beating from the public and media, and the so-called "officers' are doing nothing about it to protect or support us in any way. . . . May 1st. Spread the word. It's go time."

The comments appeared on a password-protected section of the Web site for the state troopers' union, the State Troopers' Fraternal Association. Union president David Jones issued a lengthy statement, saying it was irresponsible for the media to traffic in the postings.

"Nothing written on that bulletin board, which is anonymous, can be taken as fact or as the opinion of the STFA as a result of the postings of authorized and unauthorized individuals," Jones said.

He wrote that the idea troopers would "engage in a ticket-writing assault and or slowdown on the public is false and without merit."

But State Police Superintendent Col. Joseph "Rick" Fuentes took the postings seriously enough to order commanders to try to make sure troopers don't launch the ticket storm. "He made it clear to the command staff, what is posted there he won't tolerate," said Capt. Al Della Fave, spokesman for the patrol.

The comments were first reported publicly by Craig Carton and Ray Rossi, the afternoon "Jersey Guys" on New Jersey 101.5 FM radio.

"We must all do this together. Don't let the brass tell us any different," wrote "soundsgood." "When they were on the road, they could deal with people the way they needed to be treated, but unfortunately it is a different time."

"Soundsgood" went on: "No matter how junior you are, you must stick it out regardless of threats to be "sent to the pike.' We can't all be sent to the pike and it's not that bad a gig out there anyway. Crush 'em in May."

Corzine's trooper-driven sport-utility vehicle was leading a two-car state police caravan at 91 mph with its emergency lights flashing when it crashed on the Garden State Parkway April 12, critically injuring the governor, who was not wearing his seat belt.

Corzine spent 18 days in the hospital and is now rehabilitating at the New Jersey governor's mansion in Princeton Township.

While Corzine has said state police helped save his life, the crash has focused attention on the patrol's executive-protection detail. An independent panel is reviewing its procedures; Gannett New Jersey has learned not all members of the unit have received the prescribed enhanced Secret Service training for high-speed driving.

The Web postings suggest the authors want to punish the public in May and then deprive the state in June of revenues from traffic summonses.

"There are many more of "us' than there are of "them,' " wrote "letsroll," adding, "The tickets generate a large revenue for the state, and if the slowdown is done properly, we can make a change!"

"Crush the whole month of May and slow down for the next 5-7 weeks," urged "letsdoit."

"It's a union Web site," said Della Fave, noting it is a place where troopers vent frustrations. He said the remarks "in no way reflect on this organization."

A writer claiming the moniker "UncommonSense" advised, "Just hang out in the right lane doing 70 and pick off the first (expletive) that goes by, shouldn't take long considering our plummeting respect."

Talk show hosts in hiding after police threat


Until this week, the only people who really hated the Jersey Guys were corrupt politicians. Now, corrupt state troopers hate them, too.

Craig Carton and Ray Rossi walked out in the middle of their popular afternoon talk radio show and took their families into hiding after learning of a press conference in which New Jersey state police union leader David Jones gave out their home addresses and threatened to “crush” the people who leaked anonymous Internet postings by state troopers in which they apparently were plotting a ticket-writing blitz.

The duo are no strangers to controversy. Their show is broadcast statewide in New Jersey on WKXW New Jersey 101.5 FM from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is one of the most listened to local talk shows in the country. Since 2002, the Jersey Guys have focused mainly on local and state politics, even going so far as to form the Coalition Against Corrupt Politicians and accepting anonymous tips about “politicians taking part in despicable acts such as bribery, fraud, pension padding, nepotism, cronyism and other mischievous acts.”

They sound like my kind of guys already.

On Tuesday, they reported on their show about anonymous postings in a password-protected area of the State Troopers Fraternal Association Web site in which troopers planned to “Crush in May and Cruise in June.” According to the postings, troopers would step up ticket writing efforts during the month of May, to “absolutely hammer everyone (obviously except cops and family) who does 1 m.p.h. over the limit,” according to one such posting, and in June, to establish rolling roadblocks along New Jersey highways to disrupt traffic flow.

“I am all for the May 1st blitz … Better start pre-signing my summonses,” wrote another poster going by the handle of “reckrids.’

“Everyone has to take part in this,” wrote “20alphabravo.’ “We are taking an absolute beating from the public and media, and the so-called “officers’ are doing nothing about it to protect or support us in any way. … May 1st. Spread the word. It’s go time.”

State Police Superintendent Col. Joseph “Rick” Fuentes took the postings seriously enough to order commanders to try to make sure troopers don’t launch the ticket storm. “He made it clear to the command staff, what is posted there he won’t tolerate,” said Capt. Al Della Fave, spokesman for the patrol. — Gannett Newspapers

The troopers are apparently upset that their public image is in decline after last month’s accident involving New Jersey governor Jon S. Corzine in which the trooper driving him was speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike at 91 m.p.h. and allegedly reading a text message on his cell phone at the time of the accident, in which Corzine was seriously injured. Corzine, who paid a $46 fine for failing to wear his seat belt, has since been released from the hospital and is recuperating at the governor’s mansion.

In his press conference Thursday, Jones said that motorists had been more confrontational at traffic stops since May 1 and denied that a ticket-writing campaign was occurring.

“I’m going to release the names and addresses of these people and then their sponsors, and all of the car dealerships and everybody else that sponsors that show is going to have to deal with the reality that they’re putting public servants and the public in general in harm’s way, and I’m going to make sure that everybody knows, until they get their act together, who these people are, where they live, what they do and how it is that they’re misleading the public and creating this furor,” Jones said. . . .

In a statement, Carton said, “My safety and more importantly the safety of my family is paramount to me, and I can not and will not allow them to be put in harm’s way because of the misguided rantings of a powerful police figure.”

In an interview, Jones said, “I don’t believe in intimidating anyone.”

Jones said he did not know who floated the idea of a ticket-writing campaign on the union Web site but believes he knows who leaked the information. He said it didn’t matter if police were threatening to go on a ticket-writing campaign.

“If guys, be they troopers or not troopers, choose to vent on a blog board, that’s their right, and that’s a board that’s supposed to be shared,” Jones said. “A couple of cowards obviously compromised it, and when I find out who those Girl Scouts are I’m going to crush ‘em like bugs.” — Gannett Newspapers

That’s not intimidating?

The state police brass are having none of it, distancing themselves from Jones and promising an investigation into whether he broke any laws during the press conference.

State Police spokesman Capt. Al Della Fave said officials are attempting to get a recording of Jones’ news conference. He emphasized Jones was speaking in his capacity as union head, not as a state trooper.

“We have already alerted the Attorney General’s Office that we’re going to be asking them their legal opinion as regards to Davy Jones in his capacity as union president and rules and regulations that apply to the State Police,” he said.

A top executive of Millenium Radio New Jersey, owners of 101.5, also requested a formal review of Jones’ actions.

“This form of intimidation and extortion is reprehensible,” said a statement from Andrew J. Santoro, Millenium’s chief operating officer. “We are requesting a full investigation from the New Jersey State Police and the Attorney General’s office regarding this serious abuse of power.” — Newark Star-Ledger

Just before Thursday’s press conference, Bob Ingle, Gannett’s Trenton bureau chief, wrote a blog entry in which he said that the New Jersey state police was “one of the best state police agencies in the country.” I can hardly imagine what the worst might look like.

Update: The Jersey Guys have returned to the airwaves Friday afternoon. At 5 p.m., Col. Rick Fuentes met with Jones and asked him not to release any personal information for New Jersey 101.5 personalities. Jones agreed to comply with the request, according to a state police news release.

Of The TRENTON -- Officials were investigating yesterday whether the president of the New Jersey troopers’ union broke any rules in a war of words with a pair of radio hosts he called "clowns.’’

Union president David Jones denied any wrongdoing, but promised to hold off on his plans to reveal personal information about the radio personalities until he meets with the state police superintendent to discuss the situation.

"Right now we’re not going to do anything further,’’ Jones said.

State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes and state police officials are focusing on whether Jones violated any rules on Thursday when he showed reporters personal information about the personalities.

Jones was reacting to on-air allegations that state police were planning a "ticket blitz’’ in retaliation for all the public scrutiny given to the crash that injured Gov. Jon S. Corzine, who was being chauffeured by a trooper at the time.

Craig Carton and Ray Rossi, the radio men, based their "ticket blitz’’ report on anonymous postings they read from the union’s password-protected Web site.

They said the posters were upset at public criticism directed at the chauffeur, who was driving Corzine’s SUV at 91 mph in a 65 mph zone when it crashed.

Jones denied there was a ticket-writing campaign and called Carton and Rossi "a couple of clowns.’’

The union leader said the broadcast has endangered troopers because motorists have started challenging officers over routine motor vehicle stops.

"It’s really created a very unfortunate, untenable situation,’’ Jones said.

Jones threatened to make public the home addresses, licenses and motor vehicle models belonging to the "clowns’’ and the radio station’s executives.

"I’m going to make sure everybody knows who they are, where they live and what they do,’’ said Jones, who displayed Carton’s details to reporters at a press conference outside the Statehouse.

The personalities cut their show short Thursday, saying they were going home to protect their families. They were back on the air yesterday and said they met privately with state police officials to discuss the situation.

"How would any police officer feel if I went to Bloods or Crips and gave them police officer addresses?’’ Carton asked.

They demanded an apology from Jones and wanted him punished, but Jones said he abused no police authority in getting the radio guy’s information. He wouldn’t reveal where he got it from, but said, "It was gleaned from a legitimate source.’’

He said he would apologize when the Jersey Guys apologize to various ethnic groups and police officials he said they’ve offended.

The Ewing-based station, best known as 101.5, issued a statement saying "this form of intimidation and extortion is reprehensible,’’ and state police and the attorney general to examine whether Jones broke any privacy laws.

Carton called Jones "a maniac,’’ and Andrew J. Santoro, the radio station’s chief operating officer, called Jones’ actions "a serious abuse of power.’’

Corzine fractured his left thigh and broke 11 ribs, his breastbone and other bones in the April 12 accident on the Garden State Parkway. He was riding unbuckled in the front passenger seat when his SUV was clipped by a truck and slammed into a guard rail near Atlantic City.

Corzine was released from the hospital earlier this week and is rehabilitating at the governor’s mansion in Princeton. Shortly after his release, he voluntarily paid a $46 fine for not wearing his seat belt.

State Police Capt. Al Della Fave said authorities are trying to obtain audio and video of Jones’ comments.

"The superintendent’s big concern is Davy’s dual role as a trooper and head of the state troopers fraternal association,’’ Della Fave said. "He believes he’s still bound by the rules and regulations of the organization and he will examine closely that relationship and if he’s acting appropriately.’’

He said nothing has come of Jones’ showing Carton’s information to the reporters.

"Though Davy Jones held the paper in front of him, no one partook of the information, so it’s gone nowhere,’’ Della Fave said.

The radio personalities are no strangers to turmoil. They’ve been accused of making insensitive comments about Asians, Hispanics and Polish people, and in 2005 one raised the ire of acting Gov. Richard J. Codey after mocking women, such as Codey’s wife, who suffers debilitating bouts of depression.

This was when he received his License to Thug from the state.

"I'm New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, and I should be dead."

So begins Corzine's public service announcement promoting seat belt use, part of his campaign to encourage people to learn from his April 12 car crash in which he wasn't wearing a seat belt and was seriously injured.

Following on the heels of the announcement, which was released to broadcasters early Thursday morning, Corzine is also planning a news conference today with U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters to encourage seat belt use and promote summer travel safety.

Corzine worked with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on the message, which was released to coincide with Memorial Day weekend travel.

He taped the announcement May 15 at the governor's mansion in Princeton, where he is recuperating.

In the announcement, Corzine goes on to detail his injuries as a video plays of the wrecked SUV he was riding in. Corzine broke his leg, 11 ribs, collar bone and sternum in the crash and spent 18 days in the hospital.

He notes how he lost more than half his blood, spent eight days in intensive care and had to use a ventilator.

"It took a remarkable team of doctors and a series of miracles to save my life when all I needed was a seat belt," Corzine says.

He then advises, "I have to live with my mistake. You don't. Buckle up."

The last three seconds of the ad shows him walking off camera on his crutches.

Corzine has apologized and voluntarily paid a $46 fine for violating state law by failing to buckle up as he rode in the front seat of his SUV, which was driven by a state trooper. It crashed after it was clipped by a pickup truck on the Garden State Parkway. The SUV was going 91 mph in a 65 mph zone.

The release of the Corzine public service announcement comes during the annual "Click It or Ticket" seat belt enforcement campaign by law enforcement agencies across the country.

AAA says using a seat belt reduces the risk of death by 45 percent and the risk of moderate to critical injury by 50 percent for front seat passengers.
