Bramnick, 2013 GOP Candidates Congregate in Trenton for Presser
By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog
Flanked today by Assembly Republican candidates from New Jersey’s 1st, 3rd, 7th, 8th, 14th, 18th, 22nd, 27th, and 38th legislative districts, Asm. Jon Bramnick (R-Union) again tried to make hay of the somewhat controversial “Corzine Democrat” label in Election 2013.
Bramnick renewed his governor’s demand for an immediate up or down vote on tax relief.
“Trenton Democrats have spent ten years raising taxes and forcing families to pay more for their healthcare, their commute to work and even to turn the lights on in their homes,” said Bramnick. “Their decade of waste, mismanagement or more taxes created an affordability and jobs crisis that we are still working to recover from. After spending ten years raising taxes in Trenton, it’s time for Democrats to give taxpayers the relief they deserved.”
The fate of Governor Christie’s 10% retroactive tax cut proposal may hinge on how exactly many seats his caucus can pick off in November’s poll. For now, we’ll see whether the “Corzine Democrat” theme moves the needle; it certainly looks like the leadership is committed to trying.
I want a tax cut – a massive tax cut. I am tired of making 6 figures and living paycheck to paycheck without living lavishly.
