Just the Latest to Express Her Disgust with Democrats’ Tax Increases?
According to reports on politickernj.com, Democrat Jersey City councilwoman Nidia Lopez may be the latest casualty to lose her job because of high tax policies embraced by Governor Jon Corzine. Nidia Lopez won election to the Jersey City Council despite possibly having unlawfully claimed her residency as Florida – a low tax state where New Jersey residents frequently move to avoid high taxes. If true, the councilwoman would almost certainly be removed from her position.
“New Jersey residents have been voting with their feet for the past several years to object to the more than 100 tax increases under Governors McGreevey, Codey, and Corzine, ” said Senator Bucco.
Ironically, by finally obtaining a license in New Jersey, the councilwoman will be subject to higher motor vehicle registration fees recently enacted by the Corzine administration. Those fee increases were the 105th tax or fee increase in the last seven years that have caused New Jersey to have the worst business climate in the nation and among the worst trends for people leaving the State.
“It looks like the high tax policies of the Democrat leadership in Trenton may cause yet one more job loss, and an especially ironic one at that” said Bucco.
If establishing a new residency after years of dodging taxes or licensing requirements, Nidia Lopez could be subject to tax increases on the following things – just a handful of the 105 taxes increased by Democrat leadership on the people of New Jersey: salaries, purchases, health care, motor vehicle transactions, parking, payroll, gym membership, retirement income, home purchases, etc, etc, etc.
