[null and void]

Color me skeptical.

[P.O.E.]

NJ mistook their lockbox for a lunchbox, and now they ate it all up.

As long as you remain a Democrat, you will be part of the problem.

[Brilliant]

Seems kinda late for this. And he’s only one guy.

[2banana]

They are just about out of other people’s money...

[Salvey]

He said New Jersey didn’t wind up in such a horrible fiscal mess by chance. It happened “by politicians..."

By democRAT politicians who taxed us to death so they can maintain their power by buying votes in Newark, Trenton, Camden, etc.

[goldstategop]

From a Democrat? Amen!

NJ is already the highest taxed state in the country and spending is up the wazoo.

[Coleus]

And he’s only one guy. >>

he’s the head of the Senate, whatever he says, goes. As a matter of fact, he helped Christie pass the 2% cap on govt. agencies and towns from raising the budget. It helped property-tax payers immensely.

[Williams]

Suddenly he sounds like a raving conservative.

NJ with a $142 billion pension liability? Ha, amateurs. I’m in Illinois our pension liability is $250 billion.

[goldstategop]

Hes not a prog Marxist like Murphy.

The Governor’s agenda hasn’t gone anywhere. Sanity in a Blue State is a rare thing.

[TaMoDee]

Kalifornia has the same problem! Then add Jerry Brown’s fast train to nowhere! Kali is on that train to bankruptcy.

[Mark]

Witness Protection needed stat.

[metmom]

A DINO?

[laconic]

Sweeney is one of the more sensible Democrats in the state; unlike Illinois which has worse public pension problems and seems determined not to do anything about it other than raise taxes continually instead of changing a system they cannot afford.

[proxy_user]

“..he’s been meeting “with mayors and freeholders and county officials around the state.”

I thought he said “freeloaders”....but that particular group probably doesn’t want to meet with him.

[Tired of Taxes]

Murphy will be a one-term governor.

[goldstategop]

Yup. Only Trump’s ratings top his.

[shanover]

Pure BS. NJ has a revenue problem to feed the political beast. Taxes is their ONLY answer.
