Democrat Six-Year Assault on Job Growth Destroying Economy and Bankrupting State
Senator Kevin O’Toole (R-40), a member of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, called on Democrat leaders to abandon their latest attempt to slow economic growth in New Jersey and hold the Paid Family Leave legislation (S-786).
“The latest 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. 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, national jobless rates have hit a two year high. In January New Jersey lost more than half of all the jobs lost in the country. New Jersey’s job losses in February totaled more than 1, 000. New Jersey’s has lost nearly 11, 000 jobs in the first two months of the year.
“The Governor and the Legislature are being warned by economists that the disastrous job numbers show that corporate America is not expanding 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.
“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 one of the worst business climates in the nation.”
