McCULLOUGH, AMODEO & POLISTINA SAY IT’S TOO BAD CORZINE WON’T STICK AROUND TO TALK ABOUT WHY DEMOCRATS FEEL THEY HAVE TO RAISE TOLLS AND TAXES

State Senator James “Sonny” McCullough and Republican Assembly candidates John Amodeo and Vince Polistina said it is unfortunate Governor Jon Corzine wouldn’t use his pit stop in Atlantic County today to talk about his secret plan to sell state toll road assets, his secret plan to redistribute state school aid or his failed plan to lower state property taxes.

“It’s interesting that while Jim Whelan is trying to convince the voters he is ‘independent,’ here comes Jon Corzine to say how much he needs Whelan in the Legislature,” said McCullough. “After taking money from Corzine and the other party bosses, Whelan isn’t ‘independent.’ He’s has been bought and paid for by Corzine and party bosses from North and South Jersey. They fully expect to get their money’s worth. It’s small wonder that the Atlantic City Press recently wrote questioning how Whelan could be independent when he’s accepted so much money from outside party bosses.”

Corzine stopped in Atlantic County before leaving New Jersey for a week-long European Union Summit on Global Warming in Lisbon.

McCULLOUGH, AMODEO & POLISTINA SAY CORZINE’S PLAN FOR A.C. EXPRESSWAY ASSET SALE DURING LAME DUCK

IS OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE BAG

State Senator James “Sonny” McCullough and Republican Assembly candidates John Amodeo and Vince Polistina said it should come as no surprise that Governor Jon Corzine now admits he will spring his still-secret plan for an Atlantic City Expressway “asset sale” on the Legislature and the taxpayers during the lame duck session following November’s election.

They said Corzine’s revelation was contained in a news report broadcast by Millennium Radio stations yesterday. Corzine said he hoped the lame duck Legislature would act on his scheme to sell state toll road assets in exchange for a quick infusion of money to balance next year’s state budget.

McCULLOUGH, POLISTINA & AMODEO:

TAXPAYERS CONTINUE TO LOSE GROUND IN THE BATTLE AGAINST HIGH PROPERTY TAXES

State Senator James “Sonny” McCullough and Republican Assembly candidates John Amodeo and Vince Polistina say the average taxpayer in almost every municipality in the 2nd Legislative District has lost ground in the fight against high property taxes since the Democrats took control of the state Legislature and their opponents offer no plan for permanent relief and reform.
