 | DiCICCO STATEMENT |
Assemblyman Domenick DiCicco, R-Gloucester and Camden, issued the following statement today regarding Governor Chris Christie’s revenue solutions to cut a $2.2 billion deficit in the 2010 Fiscal Year budget:
“The people of New Jersey didn’t elect Gov. Christie to paint a pretty picture of the state’s finances or to play shell games with the budget numbers. They elected him to truthfully sort out our fiscal quagmire and fix a state government that has become unresponsive to the needs of its people. The governor made it clear today that pandering to the special interests at the expense of our severely-burdened taxpayers will not be tolerated.
“The difficult, but responsible solutions Gov. Christie laid out today to close a budget deficit he inherited is a necessary step to begin the arduous task of reforming government spending, prioritizing public services, reducing our uncompetitive tax burden and shrinking our bloated state government. He is charged with leading the state out of four years of fiscal mismanagement by the Corzine administration and I am confident that the actions Gov. Christie announced today will set the stage for much needed fundamental changes that will enable our state to move forward.”
