NJ Dems: You don't need no stinkin' tax cut, not even the one we originally proposed
Chris Christie reached across the aisle yesterday with the hand of friendship.
To show you my commitment to compromise, I have today conditionally vetoed a bill that would make New Jersey less competitive and have instead turned it into a law that would give middle class New Jerseyans a tax cut.
And I did it today, not with my own proposal from January, but based upon a compromise plan presented by Senate Democrats. One supported by Steve Sweeney and Jeff Van Drew. One campaigned for by Loretta Weinberg. Imagine that—a tax cut plan endorsed by Sweeney, Van Drew, Weinberg and me?
Let's not let a moment that comes with the frequency of Halley's Comet pass us by. A bipartisan tax cut plan is on all of your desks right now. Let's show our state we can work together and finish the job before we leave for this holiday weekend.
New Jersey Democrats thumbed their noses at him.
"Everyone understands they locked us out of the Senate chamber so no quorum can be recorded and thus, we cannot receive the governor's cv (conditional veto) of the tax bill, right?" Adam Bauer, a spokesman for Senate Republicans, complained in an e-mail message.
How childish can you get?
And even though it was originally their plan, suddenly the Democrats are singing a different tune.
Speaking in Trenton after a special joint session of the legislature called by Gov. Chris Christie, Assembly Democrats said they could not support the governor's proposed tax cut until state revenues met the governor's generous expectations.
Oh, did they mean the state revenue projections which they themselves relied upon to craft the budget Christie just signed? Those "generous expectations?" Because they sure were good enough when the Dems tried to shovel money out the door at Abortion Inc. And they were good enough to lard up the budget bill with hundreds of millions in "Christmas Tree" line items for all the usual liberal suspects.
But tax cuts? Nah, we don't need no stinkin' tax cuts. That's crazy talk! Somewhere there's gotta be a double-dipping public employee unionista who wants a boat check and no Democrat ever said "no" to that.
Priorities. The Democrats talk a good game. Then they fail to
deliver. Every. Single. Time.
