Josh Gottheimer’s Plan…

TLDR—Josh Gottheimer needs to stay in Congress. He is not qualified to run the state. Even as Congressman he’s kind of iffy, but could be worse.

This is what Rep Josh Gottheimer’s josh4jersey plan is about.

1. Incentivize municipal governments to cut 5 percent of the budget.

2. Cut 5 percent of state level budget.

3. Sue NYS to get the other 5 percent.

4. Give property tax breaks to those who move from lower tax states 😆

5+5+5-x=15-x

Except, this is not doable.

1. Municipal governments cannot simply cut 5 percent, as we know, because wages and suppliers are not going to be able to handle it, especially given inflation running at 3 percent.

2. State cut of 5 percent means massive program cuts. Can you say NJ-DOGE?

3. Union contracts are locked, which means headcount cuts.

4. Giving new movers tax breaks comes at our expense. People are already moving to NJ, so why is that even needed other than he is trying to get billionaires to move here and pay minimal tax (especially, if they move from Hawaii, which he uses as an example).
