Well, the doughboy Republican won in NJ over the multi-millionaire Democrat. Is this REAL change?
I am waiting for my real estate taxes to drop, my income tax rate to drop and the state’s fiscal problems resolved without taking away all the neat stuff previous governors have given us.
Anyone want to buy a turnpike?
Politicians are the only people on earth who can achieve (?) totally opposing goals simultaneously.
The last time a NJ governor delivered on tax relief she did it in part by raiding a fund for the future cost of retiree medical benefits promised to state workers. How did that work out? Today the liability for that (growing) obligation is over $50 billion. While many NJ citizens have no health insurance and most are paying through the nose for health insurance premiums, state workers have the Cadillac of Cadillac health plans at little or no cost to them. Change that Mr Christie, and good luck.
We are all surfs only we don’t know it. On the other hand those of us who vote allow this to happen so we deserve what we get. I voted for Christie only because I wanted the other change agent in Washington to get a message and because does it really matter?
Right after voting I got on a plane to Maui where I sit as I write this. I figured that while I wait for my taxes to go down a surer bet was to spend what I accumulated from 48 years of working.
