New Jersey Senate Republican Budget Officer Tony Bucco released the following statement calling on Trenton Democrats to stop playing on the emotions of New Jerseyans in attempt to score election year points:
“As the Trenton Democrats prepare to override Governor Christie’s line item vetoes – which balanced the budget – their continued use of New Jersey’s struggling families and towns as political pawns is disturbing to me.
“Even for Trenton Democrats this latest display of blatant election year maneuvering is shocking. Democrats, who control the Legislature, passed an unconstitutional budget filled with election year spending but they conveniently ignored one thing – a way to pay for it I believe that the Democratic Caucus should stop using the neediest citizens of our state as political pawns and negotiate to achieve the goals that he and his caucus feel are important. The Democrats in the Legislature never intended to make good on their budget. It’s clear that they care more about a piece of campaign mail in the fall than a balanced and responsible budget in the summer.”
