Property Taxes
- We must have a New School Funding Formula
- We must provide state funding to suburban school districts
- School District Consolidation and Shared Services
- Public Employee Benefit Reform
- Constitutional Amendment to cap Property Taxes
Pay to Play and Dual Office Holdings
- No bid contracts are unethical
- Pay to Play is wrong and should not be allowed
- Dual office holdings are a direct conflict of interest
NJ Economy
- From 2000 to 2006 we gained 61,000 jobs (1.5%)Â
- Only 8,000 of those jobs were in the private sector
- 53,000 of the jobs were in the public sector
- We actually gained over 130,000 of the lowest paying jobs
- We LOST over 120,000 of the highest paying jobs ($7.8 Billion in personal income)
- We need to implement state incentives for businesses to relocate to Northwestern New Jersey
Tourism, Atlantic City, Meadowlands, etc…
- There are incredible opportunities to increase state revenues in tourism.
- Waterloo Village is a primary example
- Atlantic City is another. It should be a worldwide tourist destination. It should be the #1 tourist destination on the East Coast. Major tax relief could be gained by enhancing Atlantic City.
Gasoline the Real Story
- We MUST stop our reliance on foreign oil.
- We MUST find alternative sources of fuel. Private industry is not going to get it done. The government MUST step in to force change.
- Big Oil has a hold on the United States and the world. We MUST get out from under our reliance on unstable Middle Eastern nations.
Highlands
- Towns outside the Highlands area that are insisting on this Legislation to protect their drinking water should bear the cost of it.
- Highlands Legislation is a fact of life and is going to get passed. We need to focus on getting the best situation for the people of our district.
- We have needed an organized Regional Growth Plan for decades. We are overdeveloped and there is too much traffic.
