WILL DOHERTY AND REILLY OFFER A PROPERTY TAX RELIEF PROPOSAL BEFORE ELECTION DAY?12 DAYS TO GO AND DOHERTY AND REILLY REMAIN CLUELESS ON PROPERTY TAXES

Atlantic Highlands & Wall NJ: After four years of skyrocketing property taxes voters in New Jersey have made it clear that property tax relief is the top issue of concern in this year’s election.

Assemblymen Steve Corodemus and Sean Kean have offered a comprehensive property tax reform plan that would reduce property taxes by 30 percent in three years, paid for by cutting government waste and the dedication of annual revenue increases.

The tax cut is accompanied by a constitutional amendment capping state government spending and a 25-bill legislative package aimed at helping local governments to reduce costs.

Corodemus and Kean have a detailed 32-page proposal for lowering property taxes. What have Matt Doherty and Jim Reilly offered? Well, on their campaign issues web page they can only muster 125 words on this issue.
Doherty and Reilly claim to support increasing rebate checks -- the same rebate checks the Democrat Party leadership just voted four months ago to slash by 50 percent.

And they claim to support a special session for property tax reform -- the same idea promoted by the Assemblymen Corodemus and Kean that the Democrat Party leadership has steadfastly refused to consider.

So Matt Doherty and Jim Reilly’s best ideas are those already rejected by the party leadership that is financing their campaign?

It is no surprise the Asbury Park Press today endorsed Corodemus and Kean saying that, "Assemblymen Steven J. Corodemus and Sean T. Kean, R-Monmouth, see property tax relief as the priority for their constituents," and that "Voters have good reason to wonder how independent Reilly and Doherty would be in the Assembly if they are financially beholden to South Jersey Democratic boss George E. Norcross III and his minions in Trenton."

The Asbury Park Press went on to say, "The Assembly needs legislators who are willing to fight to lower the cost of living in New Jersey. Corodemus and Kean deserve the chance to continue doing that for their constituents."

The lesson for Doherty and Reilly: Money from your party bosses in Trenton can buy misleading advertisements, but it apparently can't buy the credibility your campaign desperately lacks.
