Governor Corzine's Statement Regarding Assembly Speaker Roberts' Announcement He Would Not Seek Re-Election
TRENTON - Governor Jon S. Corzine today issued the following statement regarding the announcement by Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts that he would not seek re-election: 

"Joe Roberts has served the people of New Jersey, led the Assembly, and most important, served his constituents with dedication and distinction for more than 20 years. His tireless advocacy for providing tax relief to our citizens and helping New Jersey's most vulnerable, such as kids with autism and families needing affordable housing, is a legacy that will stand the test of time. 

"We will all miss his strong leadership and steady hand, and I will miss his friendship.  I am very confident that our partnership with the Democratic delegation will continue to lead New Jersey through this national economic crisis and protect our children, families and communities in the process."
