 | RIBLE STATEMENT ON GOV. CHRISTIE’S SOLUTIONS |
Assemblyman Dave Rible, R-Monmouth, Assembly Republican Whip, issued the following statement today regarding Governor Chris Christie’s revenue solutions to cut a $2.2 billion deficit in the 2010 Fiscal Year budget:
“The tough decisions announced today by Gov. Christie sends a clear and strong message to taxpayers and the Legislature that he was serious when he said change has come to Trenton. The stringent measures he will take to close a $2.2 billion budget gap and put our state on a path to renewed and sustainable economic growth are painful, but absolutely necessary.
“For too long too many have talked about our fiscal crisis, but were not willing to take much needed action. Fortunately, Gov. Christie has made it clear the status quo is no longer acceptable. He understands the depth of our problems – that government can no longer afford to spend uncontrollably and without accountability and, again today, demonstrated his resolve to bring fundamental change to the way the state conducts business.”
