On Tuesday, Jon Corzine will become the 53rd Governor of the state of New Jersey.

Some New Jersey school children already welcomed the Governor-elect at the children?s inaugural ceremony and celebration. A marching band, boy?s chorus and dancers were all on hand to welcome Corzine.

Event organizers say this is a great opportunity for the children to meet the Governor and to see how the government works. The governor talked to the children about the history of New Jersey and the role of the political process in their lives.
