Subject: Corzine speaks; man files seat-belt complaint: By TOM BALDWIN, GANNETT STATE BUREAU, Gov. Jon S. Corzine Thursday uttered his first public words since suffering critical injuries in a car wreck two weeks earlier, saying, "I'm the most blessed person who ever lived." Corzine spoke to an Associated Press photographer as he sat in a chair next to his hospital bed in Camden, on the same day that word emerged of an Atlantic County man who had signed a complaint against Corzine for not wearing a seat belt when he got into the imperiling wreck. That man, Larry Angel, said he had twice voted for Corzine and would likely do so again. "I'm a fan," said Angel of Mullica. "I'm a Democrat. I'm probably to the left of the party. I voted for Jon as a senator. I voted for him as governor. I would probably vote for him again. "It seems unequivocal that he was acting in an irresponsible manner, like we all do at times," said Angel. "I wish the governor well, but there is this perception that the laws are not always administered fairly. I just don't think that serves society well." Corzine is now entering his third week at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. He's in stable condition; doctors Thursday removed a tube from the left side of his chest that had been used to drain fluid from around his lung. Corzine spokesman Anthony Coley said the governor had several hours of physical therapy Thursday and sat upright comfortably in a chair. Angel, 65, said he tried to file the complaint Tuesday but was rebuffed by police. When he returned Wednesday, "They were extremely courteous." "On Tuesday, he'll review the complaint," Galloway Township Court Administrator Roseanne Lugg said of the municipality's judge. Angel said he hopes Corzine, who is recovering from critical injuries to his legs and ribs, will make a public-service announcement about the wisdom of wearing seat belts. "I would hope he would say something," said Angel, who described himself as a "local gadfly" who is "quasiretired" from odd jobs. Corzine could face a $46 fine. State law says drivers and front-seat passengers must be belted. Corzine had been unbelted in the front-passenger seat of a trooper-driven Chevrolet Suburban driving 91 mph April 12 when it got in a chain-reaction crash and plowed though a Garden State Parkway guardrail in Galloway Township. By Thursday, no police citation had been issued to Corzine, though that can transpire up to 30 days after the incident. People who are seriously injured in crashes often are not ticketed for failing to wear a seat belt. Tom Shea, Corzine's chief of staff, has said he believed Corzine should be cited.
