Greenwald Talks Tough on Property Taxes, But Folds Under Pressure

Greenwald Talks Tough on Property Taxes,
But Folds Under Pressure

Chaiman of Budget Committee says
he will fight to protect property tax rebates,
but goes AWOL when Corzine tells him to zip it

HADDON HEIGHTS -- Assemblyman Louis Greenwald (D-Voorhees), chairman of the Budget Committee in the General Assembly, recently claimed that he would fight to keep New Jerseyans' property tax rebates "to the death." But shortly after making his statement, Greenwald disappeared from public view, and his office refused to comment on his claim.

"The fact is that Lou Greenwald tried to score cheap political points by coming out in favor of keeping property tax rebates," said Camden County GOP Chairman Richard DeMichele, Jr. "But Greenwald didn't clear his comments with the real boss in town, Jon Corzine, and when Corzine found out, suddenly Greenwald could not be found."

"As Assembly Budget Chairman Lou Greenwald has been reckless and irresponsible in making New Jersey unaffordable and unfriendly to small business," DeMichele added. "Lou Greenwald won't stand up to Jon Corzine, and he won't stand up for South Jersey taxpayers."
