(Trenton, N.J.: Office of the Governor, 2009-03-12) Office of the Governor; Corzine, Jon
Jon Corzines FY2010 Budget does the right thing.
It cuts $4 billion in spending while protecting education, healthcare and those hit hardest by the national recession.
He is the only Governor in 60 years to reduce overall spending during a four-year term. Not Whitman, Not Byrne, Not Kean or McGreevey, not nybody. Only Jon Corzine
Howd he do it? Eliminated Budget Gimmicks, Ended Christmas Tree Spending, Made Government More Efficient, Ended Program that Dont Work, Focused on Priorities
Even though this budget cuts $4 billion, it adds $300 million for school and $25 million for early education. It adds $193 million to Family Care and $113 million to mental health and disability support. It preserves property tax rebates for seniors and 80% of NJ Households.
Its about priorities, Its about doing the right thing.
