"Arrr! Dems be scurrying from the Governor’s green scheme, fearin’ a mighty headache as the vote looms near!"
2025-02-19
Arrr, former matey Sen. Steve Sweeney be raisin' the Jolly Roger ‘gainst Gov. Phil Murphy's treasure map of energy schemes! He be hollerin' to stop the ship ‘fore we be drownin' in gold coins for utility fees, lest we all be swabbin' the deck in despair!
Arrr, mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with the tale of a scallywag, Steve Sweeney, a notable Democrat from the fair state of New Jersey, who hath thrown down the anchor on Gov. Phil Murphy's fanciful "Energy Master Plan." As the winds blow fierce, the good folk of the Garden State be shiverin' in their boots, bracin' for a 20% rise in their utility costs come summer's heat!Sweeney, once the captain of the Senate ship, be proclaiming that if he sets sail as governor, his top priority be makin’ New Jersey a place where the doubloons don’t disappear faster than a treasure map! He be saying, “Aye, me hearties! Those high utility bills show that our green dreams may just be sinkin' the ship!”
While he once championed the likes of solar and wind, Sweeney now shows a twinkle for natural gas, arguin’ it be cleaner than old, dirty oil. “With all the refuse we got, we could be harnessin' the power of the landfills and farms to meet our energy needs!” he declared, as the GOP mateys laughed over the Democrats' plight, callin' their green plans “too extreme!”
So, hoist the sails and keep a weathered eye on the horizon, for the political seas in New Jersey be choppy indeed, and murky plans be capsize-worthy! Arrr!
