Ed, I wanted to tell you why living in Trenton is great — because it borders Pennsylvania. I recently refurbished my house and bought over $10,000 worth of furniture and appliances. Since the sales tax in Pennsylvania is 6 percent instead of New Jersey’s 7 percent, I saved some money. I also drive right over the bridge and buy my tobacco products in Pennsylvania because they are much cheaper. I would like to thank Gov. Corzine, and I am sure Pennsylvania is thanking you for making it impossible for businesses in New Jersey. Who said living in Trenton was so bad?

You could have paid half taxes in one of New Jersey’s Urban Enterprise Zones. —Ed. Note
