		Senate President Donald DiFrancesco, who is "a leading Republican contender for governor" in the 2001 election, had proposed expanding the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled program.
		DiFrancesco's proposal, known as Senior Gold, would raise the program's annual income eligibility limits from $19,238 to $29,238 for individuals and from $23,589 to $33,589 for couples.
		While DiFrancesco maintains the program would enroll no more than 100,000 more people during the first year at a cost of $60 million, the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services estimates that the first-year enrollment could be as high as 142,000 people, costing the state as much as $90 million.

		DiFrancesco's decision, following damaging reports about everything from his personal finances to his performance as a township attorney years ago, dramatically alters the shape of a gubernatorial race altered the first time when Christie Todd Whitman left office earlier this year to become President Bush's administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

		Former New Jersey Gov. Donald DiFrancesco said Monday that he felt "shell-shocked" after learning that his successor, James McGreevey, had nixed his appointment of former FBI Director Louis Freeh as New Jersey's homeland security director - only to give the job instead to his alleged gay lover, Golan Cipel.
		DiFrancesco said that Freeh, a New Jersey native, had already agreed to take the sensitive post without any compensation, but Governor-elect McGreevey was reluctant to sign off on the arrangement.
		DiFrancesco noted that "about half" the people who died in the World Trade Center came from New Jersey, saying that having a former FBI chief in charge of state security could have been a real morale booster.
