New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (D) has come out against a gas tax holiday, despite his support for Hillary Clinton, who has backed the measure.
He sent out a release Monday morning making clear his opposition to the plan, which has also been pushed by John McCain but dismissed by Barack Obama. In the release, Corzine called a gas tax holiday "not my favorite plan." He added that reporters had misconstrued statements he had made about it during a Monday television interview.
