WE REQUEST 24 HOUR NOTICE UPON CANCELLATION ‘…We need to be sure our teaching staff Page XXA4 members are appropriately compensated and The Item of Millburn and Short Hills feel appreciated by community members.’ March 9, 2006 www.TheItemOnline.com Opinion Gail Kanef, Lupine Way resident The taxman has a hand out Gov. Jon Corzine has been in office little more than a month and already he is doing what politicians do best—renege on a few campaign promises. The post-election phase of a campaign often is the most telling chapter in a political race. The candidate wins, assumes the cherished seat and gets smacked in the face by reality. It would appear Corzine now knows he’s been sucker- punched, something we New Jersey taxpayers for several years now have known to happen to new chief administrators. Having seen governors come and go, those of us with hoi polloi status have become almost immune to the revelations that unfold when succeeding governors reach power. They inevitably take the credit for all the good that went before them and assign the blame for all that’s bad to their predeces- sors. In Corzine’s case, we can’t blame him. We can recall all the creative methods adopted by past governors of this state, meth- ods that have landed us in the mess Corzine can’t help but acknowledge today. If he is correct in his thinking that New Jersey is on the skids economically—and it would appear he is—then he is correct in taking extreme measures to rectify the slide. Problem is, we all knew it was coming while he was campaigning, and the great majority of voters believed him when he presented him- self as the man to save the day. Now we’re told our municipalities can expect little or no state aid this year. We’re told our schools can expect the same. The governor’s remedy is to go against the promises he made about controlling taxes, especially property taxes. Sure, he’s seeking extreme cuts in the state budget. But there’s still a lot of fat there, starting with the underbelly of the system. The state’s pension plan, for one, needs an overhaul. How long can we mere mortals absorb the costs that fatten the /HWWHUV WR WKH (GLWRU wallets of double-dipping legislators?
