Governor Murphy Wants A Millionaires Tax While Senate President Sweeney Wants To Cut The Cost Of Government

The Voice of Reason says do both. What is going on in state government is, as Steve McQueen said in Cool Hand Luke, “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate”.

When I was in the Senate, I supported a millionaires tax. I also sounded a clarion call that we have to rein in the cost of government that’s imposing a huge property tax burden on our residents and making New Jersey unaffordable. Both issues ran into political obstacles. The political obstacles still exist.

Governor Murphy wants a millionaires tax and Senate President Sweeney wants to rein in the cost of government 

Both the millionaires tax and reining in the cost of government are overwhelming supported by New Jersey residents.

What’s stopping our elected officials from listening to the residents of New Jersey and doing both? Politics. Pure and simple. It’s not Democratic and Republican politics. It’s Democrat and Democrat politics!

Make your voice heard and express your opinion to Governor Murphy(constituant.relations@nj.gov) and Senate President Sweeney(sensweeney@njleg.org) that you support a millionaires tax and want to rein in the cost of government.
