Corzine must be held accountable
What is happening in our state is a crime in the making. We have an elected government that is clearly raping the taxpayers of the state. Instead of working to develop a harmonious environment between business and government, it is now an adversarial one.

This state is pushing companies to leave due to higher and higher taxes, and now the Employee Leave Act is going to cost millions in lost revenue. The new department to administer the Employee Leave Act is now going to be yet another black hole from which the lawmakers can take money instead of maintaining the system.

Also, why abolish the Agriculture Department and move those people into the Department of Environmental Protection when there will be no tangible savings and we are still a farming state? Furthermore, the federal government pays for much of it.

The point that I am trying to make is that this governor is not a good person for New Jersey. He is detrimental to everything this state stands for. True, he is not responsible for many of the problems we have today, but he cannot fix all the ills of days gone by in one fell swoop.

We must challenge Corzine and the other politicians who are going to benefit most from all the new programs they are creating, to stop what they are doing. We, the people, hold the power over their political futures; it is time that we use it.
