I just don't understand the logic in this one at all. His latest idea is to use funds from CO2 permit auctions to help close the structural deficit facing the state. He wants you to forget about the fact that he decried one shot gimmicks during the campaign attacking Corzine and the Democrats repeatedly, but now is raiding funds one at a time because he's just making "hard choices." From his 88 ways to fix NJ during the campaign, lets look at number 5:I will rely only on recurring revenue to balance our state budget, not one-shot gimmicks like federal stimulus aid or other revenue unlikely to recur in future years. Unless he plans to raid the fund every year to make sure it's recurring revenue, this is the latest broken promise. And why is he raiding a fund that is supposed to go toward helping fund projects that create jobs in alternative energy? They talk about how you can't do anything to hurt business, expect when they are doing things to hurt business. This follows on the raid of the clean energy fund. We have crumbling roads and a broke transportation trust fund, so the Governor cuts funding to NJ transit forcing fare hikes, service cutbacks and more people on the road. We have a problem with unemployment, so the Governor raids a fund that goes to creating jobs in an emerging industry that will benefit us in the future. Christie logic makes no sense to me. |
