>Congressman Scott Garrett: Christie Budget Makes Job Creation Priority Number One
WASHINGTON, DC, February 22, 2011 – Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) issued the following statement today after New Jersey Governor Chris Christie unveiled his budget plan during a speech at the New Jersey Statehouse:
“I applaud Governor Christie for unveiling a budget plan today that strikes the right balance between cost-cutting savings and incentives for private-sector job creation. By cutting business taxes and the eliminating wasteful government spending, Governor Christie has made job creation is his number one priority. Business tax cuts will not only help grow the economy and create jobs, but will signal to the business community that New Jersey is determined to do all it can to tear down barriers to job creation. In addition, Governor Christie’s spending cuts will prove that New Jersey is serious about getting its fiscal house in order, which will go a long way in creating the certainty necessary for businesses to expand. Like Governor Christie, I, too, am determined to reduce spending and cut taxes, and I believe the Governor is on the right path.”
