Assembly Republicans
By bguhlAS ASSEMBLYMAN CARABALLO MIGHT SAY, "WILL THE REAL DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP PLEASE STAND UP?"February 6, 2007
Assembly Republican Office/609-292-5339
Democrat quotes on A-1 before passage in the Senate:
"The people deserve better than this. The people deserve real reform, not rebates and gimmicks."
-- State Senator Nia Gill, Star-Ledger, Tuesday, February 6, 2007
"If we were selling this tax package as a product, we would be in violation of the Consumer Fraud Act."
-- State Senator Nia Gill, Gannett State Bureau, Tuesday, February 6, 2007
"There are so many holes in the caps that many school districts and towns would spend more money this year under this alleged caps bill than they would be able to spend if we kept the current law in place. If they're spending more money, we're raising more property taxes which means people are going to pay more in property taxes as a result of a property tax reform effort and that's crazy."
-- State Senator John Adler, Millennium Radio News, Tuesday, February 6, 2007
"It's not just not good enough, it will be harmful. I think we should step back, take a breath and ask for a do-over."
-- State Senator John Adler, Star-Ledger Tuesday, February 6, 2007
"I feel that this bill is unconstitutional because it is a violation of the equal protection clause of the constitution. We're here talking about tax credits and the tax credits are not provided for people over a certain salary without any rational basis."
-- State Senator Nia Gill, NJN News Monday, February 5, 2007
Gill said the tax cut violates equal protection rights because it would base relief on household income and cannot be sustained beyond next year.
--Record of Hackensack, Tuesday, February 6, 2007
Democrat quotes last week after Republicans raised similar concerns:
"The Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for playing partisan games with our tax relief proposal . . . It boggles the mind as to why the Republican leadership wants to tie up much needed property tax relief for that would help 95 percent of all New Jersey homeowners."
-- State Senator Bernard Kenny, press release January 30, 2007
"This is nothing short of a desperate attempt by the Republican fringe to deny the delivery of property tax relief to New Jersey residents."
-- Assemblyman John McKeon, press release January 30, 2007

And, not for nothing here, even President Bush notes that "Democrat leadership" and "Democrat quotes" is poor English. Your education and intelligence are showing.
