Where Does Linda Stender Stand On Tax Increases?

A reader brings to our attention that Assemblywoman Linda Stender (D-22) has refused to make public her position on Governor Jon Corzine’s plans to increase state spending by $2.6 billion and taxes by $1.8 billion.

Recent polls have shown the number one issue for New Jersey voters is taxes. Wouldn’t it be helpful to know where Assemblywoman Linda Stender stands on state spending and tax increases? For some reason the Assemblywoman doesn’t want her constituents to know where she stands. That can’t be a good sign, especially when you consider she’s looking for a promotion.

For more than six months Stender has been the presumptive Democrat nominee for Congress against the incumbent Mike Ferguson in the in 7th congressional district. Taxes should be a hot topic in this year’s election, but Stender’s campaign strategy apparently is to keep voters in the dark.

Not only is Stender keeping her position on state tax increases a secret, she’s keeping all of her positions close to the vest. Linda Stender’s congressional campaign website states her position on “issues will be coming soon”. Soon it will be evident Linda Stender is out of touch with the 22nd legislative distinct and the 7th congressional district.
