Corzine's Budget Forces Camden County Municipalities
To Shoulder Unfair & Disproportionate Burden

Governor's budget proposes $1 billion in new taxes
in the most heavily taxed state in the union

HADDON HEIGHTS -- Governor Jon Corzine (D-Hoboken) delivered his annual budget address to the Legislature today, declaring his support for $1 billion in new taxes but no fundamental or permanent reforms to control spending or the growth of state government.

"Jon Corzine's reckless and irresponsible fiscal policy has fallen to new lows with today's budget address," said Camden County GOP Chairman Richard DeMichele, Jr. "The Governor continues to saddle our towns with deep cuts intended to force consolidation measures that citizens across the state oppose, and he has introduced $1 billion in new taxes."

"New Jersey deserves a Governor who will fight on behalf of the people of this state, not against them," DeMichele added. "When Jon Corzine raises our taxes and implements his budget gimmicks, he proves again and again that he truly has brought his Wall Street values to our state government."

"With today's address, Jon Corzine declared that he does not care about on middle class families across New Jersey and the struggles they face," DeMichele concluded. "In November, the voters will have an opportunity to begin our economic recovery by sending Jon Corzine and the tax-raising Trenton crew to join the ranks of the unemployed, just like they have done to too many of our fellow New Jerseyans."
