State business still on the hook for billions in unemployment

Republican lawmakers today painted a rosy picture of the state’s unemployment insurance situation, lauding the governor for “stabilizing” the insurance trust while increasing private-sector jobs.

In a release, five Republican senators touted Gov. Chris Christie’s handling of the state’s employment picture and said New Jersey is on a road to recovery.

“Through a combination of tax reforms, efficiencies, and aggressive prosecution of fraud and abuse, this Governor has fixed the mess he inherited as a result of years of diversions and fiscal irresponsibility by an unchecked Democratic Majority in Trenton,” said Sen. Anthony Bucco, the GOP budget officer.  (Isherwood, PolitickerNJ)
