MALONE STATEMENT ON REVENUE SHORTFALL Assembly Republican Budget Officer Joe Malone, R-Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean, issued the following statement in response to the state's nearly $200 million revenue shortfall in the first quarter of the current fiscal year: "New Jersey keeps suffering from the failed economic policies implemented during the last eight years. Despite claims that our economy is improving, our business and income tax revenue continue to come in under projections. "Taxpayers in New Jersey have heard this story before, yet Governor Corzine continues to rely on budgeting gimmicks instead of working in a bipartisan effort to address the state's runaway spending problem that is in desperate need of a major overhaul. "I once again urge the governor to work with members of both parties so that the we can have the foresight to be prepared if there is another shortfall, which is more than possible given the $8 billion to $10 billion deficit in next year's budget, according to an estimate from the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services."

Say no to Christie and Corzine. Vote Daggett
Don't by that GOP non-sense that Daggett is a plant funded by Corzine.
Fact is Daggett has no funds at all.
Futhermore, Chris Daggett nailed Christie and Corzine for corruption in 3rd Debate
You really have to hand it to Chris Daggett. Not only did he stand toe to toe with Jon Corzine and Chris Christie he really nailed it to them in the 3rd NJ Gubernatorial Debate. Once again, for the third time in a row, I give this as a notch for Daggett.
Chris Daggett handed it to both Christie and Corzine for corruption saying to fight corruption you need to lead by example.
Daggett then cited specific corrupt activities that Christie and Corzine had engaged in, including illegal campaign finance and pay to play, and neither Corzine or Christie could defend themselves.
Instead, Corzine acknowledges that activity is going on and agrees with Daggett that it needs to stop.

Daggett breaks 20% and now polling in the low 20's
