Assembly Democrats To Introduce Budget Without Corzine Sales Tax Increase

Assembly Democrats plan to introduce budget proposals on Wednesday in an attempt to avoid Gov. Jon S. Corzine's plan to increase the sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent.

But don't get excited, the Democrats’ plan includes no spending cuts, just plans to tax other stuff instead. They just don’t get it, do they?

Update: "Elevating the already high stakes with a state government shutdown looming, Gov. Jon S. Corzine on Tuesday vowed to veto any state budget plan that doesn't include a sales tax increase." Boy, does that guy love incresing taxes, or what?

Update: More taxing ideas from Democrats. Still no spending reductions from Corzine's $2.6 billion in new spending.
