Governor Corzine, in his 2008 State of the State message, said "But pigs will fly over the Statehouse before there’s a realistic level of new taxes or spending cuts that can fix this mess." New Jersey 101.5 (WKXW) personalities Jim Gearhart, Casey Bartholomew, Ray Rossi, and a number other leaders and NJ101 listeners staged this rally at the State House in Trenton on Friday, February 8, 2008. Using helium-filled balloons, the metaphor came to life, and "pigs" actually flew over the state house. Most demonstrations in front of the State House are mundane and don't garner much press. The flying pigs added a level of drama not typically seen in Trenton.
