Statement By GOP Chairman Jay Webber On Governor Corzine Signing The 2010 State Budget

Chairman Jay Webber: "This budget marks the latest in a long line of spectacular failures"

“Governor Corzine has proven once again how out-of-touch he is. He has raised taxes $2.8 billion in the middle of a recession, and driven more of our relatives, friends, and neighbors out of state. Rather than provide the property tax relief he promised four years ago, today the Governor smacked the average New Jersey property taxpayer with a $1,200 increase for next year. This budget marks the latest in a long line of spectacular failures by the Governor. The good news for New Jerseyans is that, come November, we can make sure that this is his last such failure.”
