The Jersey blog PolitickerNJ is reporting that Scott Weiner, who “retired” last month from the New Jersey Schools Development Authority (that’s the re-do of the infamous School Construction Corporation) was actually fired by Corzine:

while Weiner said that he was leaving because he thought it was time for the embattled school construction agency to hire a CEO who would commit to long term service, he was effectively fired. Gov. Jon Corzine, according to sources familiar with the events, asked Weiner to leave. The former Commissioner of Environemental Protection was allowed to issue a public statement giving the impression that his departure was on good terms.

Here’s the NJ Left Behind post on that subject from last month.
