Quote of the Day: Politicians lack the political will to effect meaningful tax reform

by: Jason Springer

Wed Jan 20, 2010 at 05:53:56 PM EST



Shortly after his swearing in yesterday as Governor. State Senator Shirley Turner urged Chris Christie to call a constitutional convention in order to examine ways to bring about tax reform:
"It's clear that politicians lack the political will to effect meaningful tax reform,'' Turner said after Christie took office in Trenton. "Governor Christie should lay the groundwork immediately for calling a Constitutional Convention on Tax Reform where taxpayers and fiscal experts who aren't looking over their shoulders at the next election have a say in reforming the broken system we have now.
With all due respect, tax reform isn't the only thing our politicians lack the political will to effect meaningful reform on Senator. We'll have to see if there is any response to her call or if they lack the will to respond to that too.

She could have stopped (0.00 / 0)
at "It's clear that politicians lack the political will."

It would remain true.


Maybe there is a chance (0.00 / 0)
It was Codey who blocked the convention when it passed the Assembly as he thought it was their job to do it.  

Maybe with Sewwney at the helm, things will be different?


Turner is the last person who... (0.00 / 0)
...should be questioning anybody's political will.

Hypocritical disgrace (0.00 / 0)
Turner is embarrassing. What leadership did she ever exhibit? She has been in the Senate for about 10 years and has done nothing. Have you ever listened to her during committe hearings, she is incoherent. Thankfully they have taken her off some of the committees .

Lets be honest here ,if it is not a black issue,she is tuned out.

Tax reform. She would not even know where to start with such a complex issue.

Most State Senators just tolerate her anymore. Hopefully her days are numbered. That District deserves better.
