Go tell it to the Governor


TRENTON – Governor Jon S. Corzine unveiled a new tool yesterday on his Web site, allowing New Jersey residents to suggest spending cuts in the upcoming State Budget.

During the initial 21 town hall meetings, Corzine heard numerous suggestions on how to cut spending.

So far, Husdon and Bergen County has not been scheduled, according to Corzine's press office.

Now there is a new tool will give more citizens an opportunity to voice their opinion in an effort to help shape the upcoming FY09 State Budget. The Web site is part of the Governor’s wish to have an ongoing discussion with residents about the financial future of New Jersey.

The one of the biggest gripes is the proposed toll hikes on our highways.

To express your opinion, the web tool can be found by going to www.nj.gov/governor and clicking on the “Direct Citizen Input on Reducing Spending” top button in the middle of the page. Be prepared to provide your name and email address as well as town and county of residence, before submitting a suggestion.
