Unfunded tax relief is a false program

After reading the details on the proposed tax relief package, I do not understand how this proposal can be funded.

The plan calls for tax relief in the amount of $2,000 for most N.J. residents. Granted the existing rebate of about $350 per household would help partially fund the new $2,000 tax reduction. Applying simple math, this package calls for an additional cost to the state budget of $1,650 per household.

The simple question is where are these monies coming from to support such a package? Answers like cutting state support to local schools will only result in an increase in our local tax bill and given all of the exclusions afforded to local governments it will be easy to increase local taxes far above the 4 percent cap that many politicians speak of.

Also sale of our toll roads to a private entity is not acceptable.

We need the politicians to come clean and show a budget that supports such a tax relief package and not introduce unfunded false programs.
