TRENTON, N.J. — It’s hard doing business in New Jersey.
Trenton politicians may soon do something small about it this week, but only if you fit into one of a few special categories.
On Thursday’s Assembly agenda is a Democrat-backed bill (S1570/A3162) which “[c]reates certain assistance and set-aside programs for businesses owned by lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender persons, by persons with a disability, and by veterans” in New Jersey; those programs could include new loans, assistance with bonding or even advice on advertising and marketing.
But what about other business owners?
And why, exactly, do the above referenced categories qualify someone for special treatment?
“Now, query why the State should give a rat’s patoot about what people are doing in the bedroom or why some people’s sex lives should qualify them for preferential treatment,” said Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll (R-25) on Facebook.
