Sound Off South Jersey
The Governor has introduced a budget that is bad news for South Jersey in terms of new taxes on comps, and an increase on the casino revenue tax. First, we at the South Jersey Insider believe it is inherently unfair to single out a specific industry for special taxation. Particularly an industry which is excluded from directly participating in the process. There are 40 Senatorial Districts in the State of New Jersey. If you drew a line and divided the State in half, South Jersey would have 11 Senators and 22 Assemblypersons representing the area known as South Jersey. By contrast the Northern half of the State enjoys a 29 Senator representation and fifty eight Assembly representatives. The "Proverbial Deck" is stacked against us.
When you take a magnifying glass to the above, the job that Senator William Gormley (R) District 2, has done is truly remarkable. Like many here in the region, I have not always agreed with the Senators' methodology, but you cannot argue with the results. Particularly when you focus the lens... the big picture becomes crystal clear.
Senator Gormley has called to South Jersyans to mobilize against the regressive tax on casinos as well as the proposal of VLT's (Video Lottery Terminals) at race tracks.
He's right, and we're here to do our duty as the South Jersey Insider by providing this page for you to sound off to the people that count... with just one click of the mouse. We've done all the leg work by compiling all of the contact information for all of the legislators involved in the budget appropriations process.
All you have to do is click on the link below, type your message, and hit send. Your opinion will be sent to most* of the Senators and Assemblypeople associated with the budget. "Snail Mail" contact information and voice communication information is provided as well.
* Two Senators did not show an e-mail address.
