Senator Jennifer Beck (R- Monmouth, Mercer) issued the following statement regarding Governor Corzine’s proposal to eliminate the property tax deduction from the state income tax:
“Governor Corzine’s proposal to eliminate the property tax deduction from state income taxes is offensive. This is nothing more than a thinly disguised income tax hike on every homeowner in New Jersey who is not a senior citizen.
“This tax hike is the capstone of seven years of relentless Democrat tax and fee increases on the people of New Jersey. These increases have crippled our State and ruined our economy. As in the past, we will work to identify common-sense budget savings over the next several months.
“Governor Corzine says he is protecting vulnerable middle-class tax payers, but this is simply not true. Middle class families will be hit by not only the elimination of the property tax deduction and rebate checks, but with skyrocketing property taxes as State Aid to municipalities is decreased.”

Actually, he should eliminate the rebate for everyone - and just lower taxes. It makes no sense to develope a bureaucracy just to give the appearance of being a generous politician. A tax rebate really means they took too much to begin with, but now they want to be lauded as being generous for giving you back your own money.

Governor, if you want to bring jobs into this state and stimulate the economy, lower (or eliminate) the corporate taxes. Then see how many businesses come here (instead of what we have currently, them fleeing for their lives)

Corzine and company will never give us real tax relief. There are simply too many votes to bought with our money. That is not even touching upon the immense corruption in this state which also costs us bucket loads of dough.

But, you are right about making this a business friendly state. NJ used to be many years ago. We were one of the best states for business. Now we rank very low due to the hostile laws, policies, and taxes we impose on the ones who provide jobs. That needs to change, but it won't with the climate in Trenton. This state is in dire need of third parties.
