If our elected “leaders” cannot come to an agreement, The People of The Garden State stand by ready to form a new government for the protection, security, and benefit of The People and for the Public Good. We will start by excising the grossly excessive cash flows that pour out-of-State to securitized interests and restructure local banking and land interests in a manner that terminates perpetual interests of trusts. We will begin immediate investment to accountably pay skilled and educated New Jersey citizens real living wages to do the work that needs to be done to sustain vibrant, healthy, attractive, affordable, entrepenurial communities with a broad sense of Liberty and Prosperity.
Who needs obstructionist Republicans when we have Sweeney? He’s the worst kind of Democrat- one out for himself and his millionaire donors, he might as well switch parties- he gets his marching orders from Chris Christie— last I checked we had an election and the state voted OVERWHELMINGLY for Murphy- the majority of NJsians want the millionaire tax, we want the 7% sales tax, we want legalization of marijuana— because you know why? We want sustainable revenue to run our state and fund the programs we support and Murphy ran on- someone tell blowhard Sweeney to sit down, shut up and GET TO WORK!
The people of NJ voted for Phil Murphy because we want the change he’s proposing. So why is Sweeney trying to obstruct the budget? He should be falling in line with our governor and the people who voted for him. And why in Gods name would he support Chris Christie?
Sounds like Sweeney had an agenda and it’s not about his constituents in NJ. Unless you’re part of the wealthy boys club!
Get with the program Sweeney! Oh, and when does he come up for re-election? Hmmmm…..
