Tax
raising Gov. James E. McGreevey (D) has unleashed an assault
on Garden State taxpayers since being elected governor in
2001. In his first full budget, McGreevey imposed more than
$1.9 billion of new taxes on working New Jersey families and
then followed again with another $600 million for the upcoming
fiscal year. All told, taxes paid by working families in fiscal
year 2004 will $2.5 billion more than before McGreevey was
elected and a cumulative total of $4.4 billion.
This
should come as no suprise to New Jersey taxpayers. As state
Senator, McGreevey cast the deciding vote for Governor Florio
to impose $2.8 billion of tax increases on working New Jersey
families. And as Mayor of Woodbridge, McGreevey consistently
raised property taxes in non-election years to fund special
interests he needed to help elect him Governor.
