The State of New Jersey is an exporter of citizens. More people leave this state than come in. That says a lot considering the job opportunity here. With that said, we have: 1) Among the highest property taxes 2) Among the highest unemployment 3) Among the highest debt 4) Crumbling infrastructure 5) and a Governor trying to minimize (and succeeding) pension payments to thousands of state workers (to include teachers, firefighters, police) You do NOT take more money from starved citizens and expect that to fix an economic atrocity. In time where the economy is weak, you INCREASE investment, NOT focus on debt. WHY? Because had we been an IMPORTER of people (due to lower taxes and job opportunity through infrastructure investment) the amount spent within the state would rise and COVER the debt obligation. In a time of economic need you dont cut 70% from a pension fund. A guaranteed entity promised to these individuals. nj/politics/index.ssf/2014/09/christies_lawyers_want_pension_case_dismissed_arguing_governors_2011_overhaul_was_unconstitutional.html
