AFP’s Taxpayer Zeroes
The bad news for taxpayers is that far too many of our representatives in Trenton are failing to stand up for their interests. No less than 66 out of 70 sitting Legislative Democrats were branded as “Taxpayer Zeroes” for 2010-2011 with scores ranging from 0-29%! Not one Democratic legislator achieved a rating above 40%.
Despite the state’s fiscal problems, including more than $60 BILLION in debt, the majority party in the state Legislature continues to push to spend more and more of your tax dollars on their failed, liberal, Big Government agenda.
Congratulations Asm. David Russo (R-40), Asm. Scott Rumana (R09) , Sen. Mike Doherty (R-23) and noticeably absent Sen. Kevin O’Tool (R-40)
