Ed, I would like people to remember three things before they vote next Tuesday. First, New Jersey property taxes are 52 percent higher than the national average. Second, state government costs $1 billion a year but the budget is $33 billion for the year. Third, 29 states have initiative, but New Jersey does not. If all these things make you happy, then go ahead and vote for those same people again.

And if they don’t, you know what to do.—Ed. Note
