Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi on the imploding New Jersey economy
“One Party Rule in New Jersey has brought us Tax Madness. We can’t keep doing things the same way. Time to mix things up in Trenton!
2018 job growth was slowest since 2011 and about half of national rate: .95 percent in N.J. v. 1.8 percent nationally. MADNESS
22 new taxes since Murphy took office. MADNESS
$2.25 billion in more taxes. MADNESS
Twice as many people moving out of N.J. than moving in United Van Lines survey. MADNESS
50 percent of people who move out cite jobs as the reason. MADNESS
Business costs and mandates are increasing despite nation-worst business environment. MADNESS
Income tax revenue falling by $500 million despite employment and wage growth plus millionaires tax. MADNESS
One of the three highest tax states in the country and getting worse. MADNESS
New Jersey has nearly $200 billion in debt. MADNESS
Since 2002 there has been only 91 cents of revenue for every dollar spent. MADNESS
One-party rule in Trenton has caused this madness.”

The only republican ever elected here are rino
