TRENTON, NJ - Steve Lonegan today drew a clear distinction between a conservative candidate with a plan to cut taxes, reduce spending and turn our state around and a “moderate” with no plan, no solutions and just more of the same.Lonegan laid out his tax plan in detail while Christie made empty promises over and over. Lonegan explained that his tax cut plan is “the largest tax cut in state history.”When asked by the panel about his tax plan, Christie was vague and outclassed, saying that he will cut taxes across the board but never explained in detail how he plans to accomplish that.Shortly into the debate, the panel asked each candidate how their first 100 days would reflect their fiscal plan. Christie said he would wait until he takes office and then create a red tape regulation review group. By contrast, Lonegan specifically laid out actual spending cuts while exposing Christie’s lack of a plan to cut taxes and spending.“My opponent does not have a plan for the State. He’s clinging to the hope that he will win and then will decide what’s best for the people of New Jersey,” Lonegan said. “I have a plan,” he added, noting he has already identified spending cuts and regulatory reforms to be instituted during his first days in office.Christie promised that he would not institute any new regulations for the first 90 days of his administration, but would not commit to that policy after that time. “Christie’s policies are more of the same,” Lonegan noted. “We’re not going to lawyer our way out of New Jersey tax debt,” Lonegan added.Christie was unable to respond to Lonegan’s accusation that he had no plan to cut either taxes or spending. Lonegan also pointed out that the author of Christie’s “70%” claim was the same “economist” who urged the legislature to increase pensions by 9%, creating the current pension crisis.Overall, Lonegan outlined a clear, conservative vision for New Jersey including the largest tax cut in state history. Christie, on the other hand, promised more of the same policies that have given us the highest taxes, most bloated state budget, the most outrageous regulations and the worst business climate of all fifty states.
