Yep!

Lived in NJ for 10 years.

Didn't use to be so liberal, don't know what happenned.

At one time the majority of Congressional Delegates from NJ were Republican.

Now it is equaling Minnesota and Massachusetts.

The Horror! The Horror!

Tax them 'till they bleed!

[ml/nj]

the state’s finances are "perilously close to ruin.’’

If this is true, the previous Governor should be arrested and hanged.

Good fodder for the GOP campaign... contrast the tax cuts on capital gains and how it has brought in more money and the NJ Democrat leaderships handling of taxes and budgets.

"... Immediate cost-cutting, including a freeze of state work force levels and 'symbolic’ pay cuts for all nonunion state workers, adding that layoff plans should be prepared."

They are trying to notify the state workers union of how dire the situation is, but geesh, no union has good ears for hearing about pay cuts. So they will have to have layoff.
