Tax Convention Rigged?

Steve Lonegan, candidate for Governor, believes the task force working on a New Jersey constitutional convention concerning property taxes is rigged to produce one outcome: higher income and sales taxes on middle class New Jerseyans. "Whatever this commission comes out with won’t be good. The overwhelming majority of members are pro-tax increase liberals whose political philosophy can be best described as far-left. This group is committed to massive tax increases on productive working families across the state in order to create a new income redistribution scheme worthy of Karl Marx,"

Lonegan said that he will fight whatever proposal the group puts on the ballot. "Anything this group comes up with will be bad, cost taxpayers more money and expand state government even further. There is no chance that when you get a dozen ultra-liberals in a room that you will get anything other than an ultra-liberal plan.”
