    Would you ask the same questions about CA senators representing Silicon Valley or agribusiness? Would ypu ask the same of a MI senator defending the auto industry?

        The answer is sometimes you have to make a calculated choice. I believe that most adults who vote and contribute to campaigns are going to understand that NJ=Pharma to a certain extent.

        Note I don’t like that “and contributes to campaigns” is a factor in politics but this is New Jersey and if Pharma is our #1 industry then corruption has to be #2 or 3.

          Money really needs to get out of politics. It’s foul how we have to play the game to judge the integrity of decisions.

          For the people? Or for the payout?

          Obnoxious government

          Thank you for your sincere response
