Assemblyman Joe Pennacchio,a possible candidate for the 2008 GOP U.S. Senate nomination, wants Gov. JonCorzine to "come to the 26th Legislative District and engage in a public forum to discuss his'monetization' plan or sale of state assets.AGannett/Monmouth University poll released today shows that 55% of New Jerseyans opposeCorzine'smonetization plan, and 60% oppose thesale of the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway.
