TRENTON, N.J. — When the legislature passed its business-killing budget last week, Assemblyman Jay Webber (R-26) — whose running to succeed Rodney Frelinghuysen in NJ-11 this year — called out Democrats for peddling a false premise.
“We do not have a revenue problem in the state of New Jersey, we have a spending problem,” said Webber. “Get the spending under control and you don’t have to come to the floor asking the most overtaxed people for another billion dollars.”
Webber went on to explain how the legislature’s proposed business tax increases (which still need to clear Governor Murphy, who prefers a massive income tax increase) would punish individual small business owners, shareholders, employees, and others who aren’t fat cats.
