Democrat Six-Year Assault On Job Growth Destroying Economy And Bankrupting State
Senator Anthony R. Bucco (R-Morris), a member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, called on Democrat leaders to abandon their latest attempt to eradicate economic growth in New Jersey and hold the Paid Family Leave legislation (S-786).
“Yesterday’s job figures from the federal and state labor departments have proven what Republicans have been saying for the last six years. New Jersey businesses are being overwhelmed by a six-year assault of soaring taxes, higher fees and reckless government spending,” said Bucco. Now, the Trenton Democrats are poised to administer a final crushing blow to the State’s economic competitiveness in the form of the paid family leave legislation.”
According to media reports, last month the State lost more than half of all the jobs lost in the country. New Jersey lost 9, 500 jobs in January 2008 while the country as whole saw employment fall by 17, 000 jobs.
“The Governor and the Legislature are being warned by economists that the disastrous job numbers show that corporate America is not doing its expansion in New Jersey. Yet, the response to this warning by the Democrats is to pass a paid leave mandate that will put this State at a competitive disadvantage with every other state east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains,” said Bucco.
“The Trenton Democrats must abandon their anti-business and anti-job policies, which when paired with their disastrous stewardship of the State’s finances, have secured New Jersey’s reputation for having the second worst business climate in the nation,” Bucco concluded.
