HILARIOUS NYTIMES SPIN: CORZINE'S $38BILLION TOLL INCREASE CALLED "HUGE FINANCIAL MOVE"

"FINANCIAL MOVE" ?!?!?!?!?!?

Yeah sure. As if it was an increase in value.

HERE: Corzine Proposes Huge Financial Move for N.J.

TRENTON — Gov. Jon S. Corzine on Tuesday proposed the biggest financial gambit in New Jersey’s history, arguing that almost quadrupling highway tolls over the next 15 years could help generate about $38 billion to help the state pay off half of its debt and pay for transportation improvements.

Drivers would face a maximum 50 percent increase in tolls on the state’s three toll roads — the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway — every four years, beginning in 2010, and subject to inflation, under Mr. Corzine’s proposal. A portion of a fourth highway — Route 440, which runs from Woodbridge to the Outerbridge Crossing — would become a toll road, as well.

  • A 50% INCREASE IN CURRENT TOLLS
  • AND MAKING A CURRENTLY FREE ROAD INTO A WHOLE NEW TOLL ROAD.
  • THIS AMOUNTS TO A HUGE TAX INCREASE BY THE NJ SATE GOVERNMENT ON THE NJ DRIVERS - AND EVERY OTHER DRIVER PASSING THROUGH.

  • MAYBE INSTEAD OF APOLOGIZING FOR SLAVERY AND OUTLAWING THE POPULAR AND MURDER-PREVENTING DEATH PENALTY CORZINE SHOULD CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING.

OH. SORRY. HE'D NEVER DO THAT.

HE'S A DEM.
