New Jersey Governor Chris Christie held a press conference on Tuesday to announce his appointment of a five member Privatization Task Force. The members include Chairman, Dick Zimmer, Todd Caliguire, Kathleen Davis, John Galandak and Dr. P. Kelly Hatfield.

Christie elaborated on the purpose of the Task Force. From The Gov Monitor:

"Delivering programs and services to our citizens is government’s primary job, but I have asked the Task Force to look for places where we can do this in a more efficient, cost-effective way by having the private sector do it,” Governor Christie added. “This full review will allow the Lt. Governor and me to make carefully informed decisions on where and how to do this as we continue to responsibly manage state government. It will also make recommendations for how privatization could improve operations and reduce costs for municipalities, school districts and counties."

Dick Zimmer is a former 4-term Congressman. During the 1990s he served on the Republican Liberty Caucus advisory board. Galandak is the former President of the Foundation for Free Enterprise.

Galandak in particular is receiving a ringing endorsement from one of the States' top Libertarians, not too mention some advice.

From Dr. Murray Sabrin NewJerseyNewsroom.com:

I have known John for 25 years, and we worked together for more than 20 years delivering the World of Free Enterprise program to public school children, primarily in Bergen County. John has the unique perspective of a business association trade leader who understands completely the strengths of the free enterprise system and how taxes, government spending and regulations undermine prosperity and job creation.

John should not be shy in advocating a massive downsizing of state government, and in keeping with sound free market principles, steep cuts in taxes and an overhaul of the regulatory climate in the Garden State.

In addition, John should also advocate for free enterprise education. He should call for teachers, principals, administrators, parents and other stakeholders to run local public schools. That means schools becoming nonprofit institutions, relying on tuition, fees, grants and other non-tax means to pay for all school costs.

Sabrin, an economist at Ramapo college, is a two-time Libertarian candidate for US Senate. He's also a former National Vice-Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus.
