“We won’t sugar coat the truth: property taxes are high because Trenton politicians care only about themselves. Our tax relief plan may not be popular with the political bosses politicians, but we know it will deliver the real relief South Jersey needs.”

Nelson and Matt’s plan is the same simple rules our families live by every day: don’t spend what you don’t have, don’t spend every dollar you make and don’t buy what you can’t afford. Their plan will eliminate millions in wasteful spending and pass the savings on to taxpayers.

• Require voter approval before the state is permitted to borrow money.
• Require the state to spend or base a budget upon recurring revenues — in other words, don’t spend what you don’t have.
• Cap government spending by law and audit every state department and agency to root-out unnecessary spending.
• Constitutionally ban funds dedicated for one purpose from being raided for other uses.
• Create a “Rainy Day” fund to offset large tax increases in bad economic times – in other words, don’t spend every dollar; save for the future.
• Replace the costly and unnecessary printing of official reports and other documents by making the information available online.
• Reduce the number of government vehicles by ten percent a year over the next five years.
• Use the state contracting authority to more competitively purchase goods and services at a lower cost to taxpayers.
• Eliminate the stipend paid to prisoners for performing duties such as road cleanup, etc.
