(TRENTON)—An analysis by the Star-Ledger confirms what Republicans have been saying all along, that the McGreevey Democrats have raised taxes more per capita then any other state in the nation--$3.6 billion more since Jim McGreevey took office, which is the equivalent of $417 for every man, woman and child.

“Not only are the McGreevey Democrats bankrupting the state with unconstitutional debt, they are drowning every man, woman and child with increased taxes and fees,” said Senator Joe Kyrillos, Chairman of the New Jersey Republican State Committee. “Wall Street has spoken by downgrading the State’s bond ratings and the voters will speak next November by ridding the state of Jim McGreevey and those who support his fiscally irresponsible taxing, spending and borrowing in the Legislature.”
