Asbury Park Press: Garden State Initiative forum wasn’t gathering of right wing: Egea

GSI President Regina Egea fires back at a political operative who wants to knock the spirit of bi-partisanship and open discussion displayed at the Economic Policy Forum.

“A gathering of the right wing? Hardly,” writes Egea in a commentary for the Asbury Park Press. “It was a refreshing gathering of leaders and exchange of ideas from across the political spectrum in government, academia and business. A common theme was a need to put partisanship aside and come up with solutions. Exactly what the Garden State Initiative is about and what our state and country deserve.”
