Issue Position: Tax Relief

Issue Position

From my position on the Assembly Budget Committee, I have helped put New Jersey back on the right track -- by sponsoring the Fiscal Year 2011 budget that closed an inherited $11 billion deficit without raising taxes, supporting an historic property tax cap that has helped curb New Jersey's sky-high property taxes, and enacting pension-and-healthcare reforms that will save taxpayers $120 billion over 30 years and preserve those benefits for the employees and retirees who rely on them.

But New Jersey still is one of the highest-taxed states in the nation, and our citizens deserve tax relief and an affordable state. There is much more to be done. In all, I have sponsored bills that would provide more than $1 billion of tax relief for New Jersey's beleaguered taxpayers, and proposed real reductions in the property tax, income tax, sales tax, estate tax, inheritance tax, and various fees.
