I opened my mailbox on Saturday afternoon, Save Jerseyans, and I found the nifty little mailer to your right (and at the bottom) among the bills and supermarket circulars.
It’s produced by “The Coalition to Preserve Jobs and Our Constitution,” a group of Garden State business owners dedicated to defeating a proposed constitutional amendment on New Jersey’s fall ballot which would hike our state’s minimum wage and, most troubling of all, constitutionally-mandating that all future increases be tied to the consumer price index.
Vote NO, folks. Visit our extensive Minimum Wage Archives for all of the facts, figures, analysis and examples you’ll need to convince your friends that Ballot Question #2 is a dangerous and costly mistake for New Jersey that will destroy jobs.
The Coalition has reportedly already spent in excess of $500,000 to defeat Ballot Question #2. Thank God for it! Even many Trenton Democrats know that this initiative is a bad move for our economy; they’re hoping it drives turnout to save Democrat incumbents from the Christie wave. Don’t let them get away with it.

"the most reckless ballot measure in modern New Jersey history."
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Really? Crush small businesses much? Employees earn raises based on what the market will bear.
I manage a small business, people have NO idea how much this is actually cost, Not only will lazy ass people get automatic raises every year, but Workmens Comp will go up and Employee taxes will go up, bye bye small businesses, I will never hire any one again.
Matt Rooney did Buono say she would entertain raising the sales tax by 1% every year for 10 years in the last debate? I didn't catch it.

But is the amount I stated accurate-was she really saying she wouldn't rule out a sales tax ("progressive" of course) as high as 17%?
Lovely, and I guess she would raise her salary again by what 40% ….or msybe she could sell lavendar and save on her property taxes while mine go up….
You are so cool! I don’t suppose I’ve read through a single thing
like this before. So nice to discover another person with a few
original thoughts on this issue. Really.. many thanks for starting this
up. This site is something that is required on the web, someone with some originality!
Admiring the hard work you put into your website and detailed information you provide.
It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the
same unwanted rehashed material. Wonderful read! I’ve saved your site
and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google

Why is the link coming up with a Massachusetts voter website?
