: : : Message from Lou Manzo: McGreevey + Current Legislators are no good for
: : : 31st District

: : : Urban Times News
: : : May 23-May 29, 2003

: : : It is agreed upon throughout the
: : : state that Governor James McGreevey is not
: : : succeeding. In fact, The Jersey Journal pre-
: : : sented a story entitled "McGreevey's poll
: : : performance: Mr. Negative on all 9 issues."
: : : The story then went on to list the Governor's
: : : shortcomings by way of statewide voter dis-
: : : approval with negative ratings related to the
: : : state budget, education, the economy and
: : : jobs, auto insurance, taxes in general and
: : : property taxes.' This is what the people of
: : : 'New Jersey have to say!
: : : Obviously, Mr. McGreevey has
: : : failed. What's worse for the 31st District, is
: : : that he has deprived us of essential monetary
: : : relief more than any other district in the
: : : state. This year the taxpayers of Jersey City
: : : will receive only $2 million. That is more
: : : than an 80% decrease in tax relief since last
: : : year! In comparison, much smaller towns
: : : such as Union City ($4 million) and
: : : Harrison ($3 million) received significantly more funding per resident.
: : : Harrison, with a
: : : population of only 14,400 will receive $207
: : : per person in distressed cities aide, while
: : : Jersey City's population of 243,000 will receive only $8 per person.
: : : Since Governor McGreevey has
: : : been in office, Jersey City's state aid has
: : : plummeted from $16 million to $2 million,
: : : while our legislators stood by and collected
: : : their multiple government salaries'.!!
: : : Bayonne, on the other hand has
: : : been labeled as one of the most tax trauma-
: : : tized municipalities in the state by the Star
: : : Ledger -- this is Joe Doria's home town. He
: : : has done nothing to provide relief for the
: : : 31st District after 24 years in the legislature!
: : : Jim McGreevey and Joe Doria
: : : have something in common: they both have
: : : done nothing for the areas they are supposed
: : : to serve.
: : : Now, Governor McGreevey has
: : : teamed up with Harvey Smith and Joe Doria
: : : to further hurt the 31 st District. Team Smith
: : : is in the pocket of the Governor - they will
: : : be afraid to stand up to the Governor and
: : : stand up for the 31st District, as their
: : : records have shown.
: : : The Jersey Journal further recog-
: : : nizes this problem with, "Until now,
: : : Democrats for Hudson County hasn't made
: : : McGreevey an issue, even though it has
: : : ammunition in the state's slashing of $8 mil-
: : : lion in Distressed Cities Aid to Jersey City
: : : and for other budget cuts that will hurt here.
: : : The time has come- make a change on June 3 rd.

: 
:     This is a sad day and time what can the people do to
:       help make this better:  Aneesah
