In response to a proposal by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to drastically increase fees for motorists, Assemblyman Jim Holzapfel of the 10th district has co-sponsored legislation which would take away the Motor Vehicle Commission’s power to raise fees. The legislation, A-3850, would place all motor vehicle fees back under the authority of the Legislature.
The legislators of the 10th District, Senator Andy Ciesla and Assemblymen Dave Wolfe and Jim Holzapfel, responded to Governor Corzine’s budget plan, which would directly and indirectly raise taxes for nearly all middle-class New Jersey residents.
“Governor Corzine’s budget proposal would remove property tax relief for middle-class New Jerseyans who are already struggling to survive in this tough economy,” said Ciesla. “Now is the time when the people of New Jersey are most in need tax relief, but Governor Corzine is offering little more than higher taxes.”

Ciesla, Wolfe and Holzapfel point out plan nearly triples tolls, primarily to fund just one project
Senator Andrew Ciesla and Assemblymen David Wolfe and Jim Holzapfel, the representatives of District 10, issued this statement after reading about the governor’s endorsement of a Turnpike Commission plan to nearly triple tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway:
The legislators from the 10th District have announced that the State of New Jersey has extended the deadline for filing property tax rebate applications. Residents who have not filed their 2007 Homestead Rebate or Senior Freeze (Property Tax Reimbursement Program) applications by the original August 15 deadline will now have until October 31, 2008 to do so.
Assemblyman David Wolfe and Assemblyman James Holzapfel today expressed grave concern about a plan to divert $9 million from the Shore Protection Fund to keep state parks operating as a result of a budget deal negotiated behind closed doors between Governor Jon Corzine and Democrat leadership.
“New Jersey’s crown jewel is its 127 miles of coastline from Sandy Hook to Cape May,” said Wolfe, R-Ocean and Monmouth. “Only Trenton politicians would have the audacity to gamble with shore protection funding which is vital to the protection of our shore residents, beaches and property. Governor Corzine and his Democrat friends ought to confine their gambling to Atlantic City’s casinos.”
