Clueless
Republican Assemblyman David Wolfe has issued a rare press release
criticizing Governor James McGreevey for excessive use of a state
helicopter.
Wolfe’s
criticism comes after former Gov. Christie Whitman said McGreevey
should “stop whining” about the mess she left the state government in,
and get on with his program.
McGreevey,
a Democrat, noted that Republican Whitman’s record includes a massive
budget deficit (over $2.5 Billion) which left the state government
virtually insolvent.
Whitman Record Included EZ Pass Scandals, Pension Fund Disaster,
Out-Of-State Lottery Junkets, Huge Budget Deficit
Whitman’s
record included the EZ Pass scandals, character assassination of GOP
gubernatorial candidate Brett Schundler last year, an illegal $2.5
Billion State Budget Deficit, a costly and wasteful political
patronage operation, dozens of costly out of state vacation junkets
for patronage flunkies at the state lottery department, scandals at
the state DMV over the Parsons mess, aggravated over-development and
sprawl, a massive increase in the state’s debt, huge losses in stock
market investments ($22 Billion), more traffic gridlock, excessive
development, and near insolvency in the state’s pension system.
After Giving Himself A 40% Pay Increase And
Record Setting Pension, Wolfe Says McGreevey Spent
Too Much ($13,500) On “Helicopter Rides”
To put the
whole thing in perspective, Republican Wolfe, a resident of Bricktown,
who recently voted himself a 40% salary increase and will be
“entitled” to one of the largest pension payoffs in Ocean County
history because of Whitman’s generosity with other people’s money,
criticized McGreevey’s “excessive use” of the gubernatorial
helicopter, lamenting the expenditure of $13,850 for helicopter fuel
in McGreevey’s first six months.
Wolfe and Other Republican Legislators Spent $13,500
Every Thirty Seconds In Lame Duck Spending Orgy
Wolfe and
other Republican legislators capped off the Whitman-DiFrancesco years
last December in a lame duck legislative spending orgy with a display
of unabridged profligacy throwing taxpayers money away at the rate of
about $13,850 every 30 seconds.
Wolfe
helped to appropriate nearly every penny Whitman ever wasted and
squandered.
Wolfe, Whitman-DiFrancesco Policies
Will Increase Taxes In Bricktown
Whitman’s
fiscal mismanagement on the state level set the stage for enormous
local property tax increases, including a probable $18 million annual
tax increase which has already started in Brick Township and the Brick
school system over the next several years.
The $18
Million potential Brick tax increase does not include an additional $8
million Brick tax increase ($55 Million in Ocean County) which could
take place as early as next year because local governments and
agencies will once again have to help fund the state pension system
which Christie mismanaged and nearly bankrupted.
Former
Republican mayoralty candidate John Barrett did not offer any comments
on Wolfe’s criticism of the governor’s helicopter rides - or of the
Whitman administration budget deficit.
