CORZINE-ALBANO-MILAM PLAN TO ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAX REBATES YET ANOTHER CRUSHING BLOW TO MIDDLE CLASS TAXPAYERS
May 20, 2009, Ocean City, NJ: First District Republican Assembly candidates Mike Donohue and Frank Conrad today denounce the Corzine-Albano-Milam plan* to deliver another crushing blow to middle class taxpayers by eliminating property tax rebates.
“Gov. Corzine’s announcement yesterday that he will advance the plan put forward last year by First District Assemblymen Nelson Albano and Matthew Milam to eliminate property tax rebates, represents the final nail in prosperity’s coffin for residents of New Jersey,” Donohue says.
After the Democrats shut down the state in 2006 while arguing over which taxes to raise, then finally settled on raising the sales tax 17%, Nelson Albano said "Everybody's a winner. I think the governor had to do what he had to do as a businessman * * * Within two years, every bit of that penny of the sales tax is going right back to property tax payers. "** Now, three years later, Albano and Milam are helping Jon Corzine eliminate property tax rebates so their bloated state government can consume all of the sales tax increase Albano promised to return to taxpayers.
“This is a classic tax-raiser’s bait-and-switch to rob the middle class and keep feeding the beast in Trenton," Donohue says.
“How many times do we have to be fooled by Albano and Milam acting like they are not part of the Corzine government when they are in District One, only to see them vote for Jon Corzine’s agenda when they get back to Trenton?” Conrad says. “Eliminating property tax rebates for the middle class is an Albano-Milam proposal that Corzine now wants to follow through on. The plan to confiscate yet more money from the hardworking people of New Jersey is a disgrace. The Corzine-Albano-Milam Democratic majority in Trenton has lost touch and does not feel the economic pain that they have inflicted on citizens of New Jersey.”
