NEW YORK, NY February 07, 2008 —Governor Jon Corzine's plan to both reduce New Jersey's debt and fund badly needed infrastructure projects ran into more speed bumps today.

All the Republican lawmakers in the Assembly signed pledges opposing Corzine's proposal to impose hefty toll hikes over several years. Fairleigh Dickinson University professor Peter Wooley says the unity of the GOP presents a political problem:

WOOLEY: The Governor has relied from time to time on one, two or a handful of defecting Republicans to get passed some important legislation. Not least of all the dramatic change in the school funding formulas.

REPORTER: Corzine hasn't had much luck with either side of the aisle. Tomorrow his opponents hold a mass rally calling for the Governor to cut state spending rather than hike tolls.
