 | DeCROCE STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR’S PLAN |
Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic, issued the following statement today as Governor Christie announced details regarding his plan to put a 2.0 percent cap on property taxes and giving voters the final say on their local property taxes for the first time in 30 years:
"Republicans are work today tackling the most critical issues in New Jersey – curtailing government spending and controlling property taxes. Through Governor Christi’s leadership and relentless pursuit of this matter, along with Republicans in the Assembly and Senate, taxpayers in New Jersey will now decide their own fate, not politicians and bureaucrats.
“The agreement announced by the governor finally puts New Jersey on the road that will return fiscal sanity to our state. Voters will now have a say on how their tax dollars are spent, instead of Trenton politicians. This is a key component in our effort to cap government spending.
“The public has waited too long to see if promises will be kept. As we celebrate our independence this weekend, people can also be reassured that the Republicans in Trenton are working to ease their burden from the most oppressive issue they are dealing with – skyrocketing property taxes. Today is a victory for the people who pay the highest property taxes in the country.”
