New Jersey Democratic lawmakers complain there are deep flaws in President Bush's proposed budget plan.
Democratic Senator Bob Menendez complains the Bush budget cuts Homeland Security, mass transit and education funding. He tells Millenium Radio he has been wracking his brain to think about who in New Jersey would like this budget. Menendez says he cannot think of anyone who would be satisfied.
Congressman Rob Andrews says the budget will mean higher property taxes for Jersey residents who will see their local towns having to make up the difference for less Federal Funding. But Republican Frank Lo Biondo says the budget is just a blueprint. He says he is sure we will get the opportunity to do some major revisions.
The budget includes 50-billion for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan for 2009, and no money after that.
Quick! Hide your wallets!
Rat math again.
say, are they still paying that school official, who died in 1974', $130,000.00 a year ?

Audits question $15M in school expenses (N.J.)
No, they transferred the money to 3 employees who had birthdates in the future ;)
