Steve Lonegan on Budget & Economy

 

 


Opposes Hurricane Sandy funding; funding needs more scrutiny

Both [GOP candidates] wanted more scrutiny of Hurricane Sandy funding, and would have resisted voting for the $60 billion funding.

Eck said she would have voted against $60 billion in Sandy funding until further checks and balances were put in place. "So little accountability," she said.

"I did not support it," said Lonegan, a former mayor of Bogota. "I would have voted no."

End out-of-control spending; freeze spending and debt

As Governor, Steve will put an end to out-of-control spending. Lonegan will veto liberal spending programs, eliminate wasteful agencies and completely overhaul state government.

New regulations on small business owners from landscapers to fitness trainers will be overturned. Regulations forcing high-density, Low Income Housing projects on our suburban towns will be repealed.

For too long, taxpayers have looked at Trenton as a hostile force working against the interests of working families and local towns. Those days will end when Steve Lonegan is Governor and taxpayers will finally have a friend in Trenton.

As Mayor, Steve Lonegan froze spending and debt while keeping taxes far below inflation. His conservative record is the reason Republicans kept council control for ELEVEN STRAIGHT ELECTIONS in a town that voted 64% for Obama and 66% for Lautenberg this year.
