STATEMENT FROM SPEAKER ROBERTS ON CHRISTIE’S CONTRADICTIONS
By New Jersey Democratic State CommitteeSTATEMENT FROM SPEAKER ROBERTS
ON CHRISTIE’S CONTRADICTIONS
(TRENTON) - Assembly Speaker Joseph J. Roberts Jr. (D-Camden) issued the following statement today:
"We at least finally know this much about Chris Christie - even his vague promises of treats have been nothing more than tricks, unless you're fortunate enough to be among the super wealthy.
"Christie's mishmashed campaign has shown its true self. This George W. Bush-disciple is in this to give tax breaks to the rich and massive corporations while stripping away benefits and protections for New Jersey's middle class.
"This failed conservative Republican philosophy will do nothing to lower property taxes for hard-working New Jerseyans and is the last thing New Jersey needs. It is the same thinking that brought us the worst global recession since The Great Depression. No thank you.
"No one can possibly believe anything Chris Christie says or take him seriously anymore. He makes hazy promises one second and contradicts himself the very next. He has no vision, nor can he be trusted to position New Jersey to thrive in the coming economic recovery."
