Dear Hazlet.... I want a refund!

Does Hazlet have money to waste? Are the elected officials sitting on the podium thinking up ways to blow taxpayer $$$?
Check out the article in the Independent here, to see the committee's $200,000. Bozo move to blow your tax dollars.

Someone on the committee decided the town needed a new elaborate entrance to Veteran's Park on one of the busiest corners in town. A corner the county just fixed by widening the street and giving the residents turn lanes.

I need to know who on the committee came up with this idea? Were they all sitting around going..."LOOK! MONEY! Let's blow it on something?"

Seems this time Ronchetti and DeNardo might just be the voice of reason on this Mad Hatter committee. If the rest of them want to blow your tax dollars~~~the power is yours. Election day will be here in the spring and I for one will remember this blatant misuse of taxes.

Hey, Hazlet committee? If you have that extra cash why don't you put it into the roads? Dirt roads would run smoother than some of the rock and roll roads in this town. Or how about a refund on those taxes? Evidently there's money to waste so GIVE IT BACK TO THE HOMEOWNERS!

Dear New Hampshire....Take My Governor, PLEASE!

Dear New Hampshire,
I heard you were quite taken with Governor Christie. I read about it here. 
You like his brash manner (in New Jersey we call his name calling "lack of manners" See it here!) and outspokenness.  Not having facts, shouldn't really be categorized as outspokenness. He didn't have the facts when he spouted off about pensions and what other governors have done in New Jersey. Was he lying or just speaking without know the facts? Read about that here.                

We've had Christie as Governor here in NJ for ...about 5-6 years now?

• Unemployment is up....check out the facts.   
• Property taxes have risen under Christie at a rate almost twice as high as our previous governor. Numbers from 2013 here. Or compare your state to ours here. 
• Transparency in government was something Christie promised in his campaign. However, his office can't seem to cough up any facts when questioned. The New York Times even reported it here.  And the lawsuits are costing taxpayers-you know the ones who want the transparency-big bucks. 
• Bridgegate leaves questions  and we're waiting for the indictment to drop any minute now. 
• New Jersey was hit hard by Superstorm Sandy two years ago and people are still fighting to get back in their homes. They question the Governor about it and get ...well, not much. NorthJersey.com reported it here. 
• Then there's the great New Jersey Exodus; We be leaving this high taxed state where you get less for your buck. 

In closing, dear New Hampshire, if you think our Governor is so great let him govern New Hampshire for while and then get back to me.

Respectfully yours,
A New Jersey Taxpayer

Goodbye Christie

Trenton has stalled in its service to New Jersey’s middle class. With Chris Christie catering to his million dollar cronies and with Joe Kyrillos playing his yes-man, any help for Sandy victims, small business and the average New Jerseyan is nowhere in sight.
My tax bill is climbing, the Gov is raiding $152 million meant for clean energy rebates, wasting $24 million in taxpayer $$$ on needless elections, takes Gay Marriage to court over and over again—what’s that hefty $Price$ tag?— and blowing Sandy funds ($600,000 to Calif for what?). 

  We need to shake up Trenton and bring in new blood and new ideas.

My plan?

Vote for anyone but the incumbents.  
Whoever they are, vote them out.

Chris Christie Takes Taxpayers for a Ride to save his Career.

Mr. Christie...do the Math...

Governor Christie says he's not going to raise taxes...
So that means he's going to take all the State Aid away from every town in NJ and force THEM to raise taxes.
Then he can say he didn't do it, right?
Hey, Mr. Christie? Ever hear of the snowball effect? The fact that sh*t rolls down hill?
Don't even get me started on what this does to our over-taxed unemployment system. How many people went on unemployment because State Aid was cut?
Anyone got that number???

(Recent unemployment numbers aside...we can't count the one shot Census takers. Their jobs will be over in a heartbeat)

Illegal immigrants and our budget problems...

I think I have the solution to dealing with illegal immigrants. First of all we have to admit they are a drain on our society because they use our resources and do not pay taxes. Taxes are what support our roads, parks, schools, and all that other stuff we take for granted.
Now if every illegal who has been living in the USA for the past five years be granted citizenship and a social security number they would then become taxpayers. Think how much money that would bring into our budgets?
Regarding our weak social security issue...only let them collect the amount they've paid into it. That way they won't drain that system either.
Since we all came from immigrants I think we need to give these people a chance. And if it helps balance the budget...kool!
