Leslie Huhn:
Restoring the Millionaire's tax for a more equitable and fair tax system.
Fully funding education to strengthen public schools and decrease property taxes.
Develop and support alternative energy in the state to create jobs and achieve energy independence.
Leslie Huhn:
Despite what we hear from Trenton, the vast majority of NJ's public schools are performing very well. I am opposed to giving public funds to private institutions through vouchers.I would be supportive of public charter schools in areas where schools are not performing well and there is support from the community. I would support enabling children to attend schools outside of their home district only in those areas where the schools are chronically under performing.
Leslie Huhn:
Since The School Reform Act was passed in 2008 it has never been fully funded. I believe we should fully fund the formula and only then will we be able to adequately assess what changes in school funding are needed.
Leslie Huhn:
I believe it would be beneficial to NJ's residents to have one single authority when trying to regionally plan to prevent sprawl. The approach of multiple agencies has lead to bureaucratic problems that have not adequately addressed the needs of our residents, our economy and our environment. The consolidation of these agencies would provide the funds for this initiative.
Leslie Huhn:
I am very concerned with the direction the Governor seems to be headed with the State's energy plan. The Governor's says that we must support the fossil fuel industry in order to create jobs. He contends that in order to create jobs, we must be willing to deregulate. I don't believe that we need to jeopardize the health of our air and water to create jobs. Investments in clean energy would also help create jobs without sacrificing the health and well being of our citizens.
Leslie Huhn:
NJ's infrastructure is in dire need of repair. Our roadways need improvements to ease the high levels congestion throughout the State. In my district, Sussex County, now has the state's longest commute and these issues need to be addressed. It is vital to our economy that we invest in infrastructure. If we continue to put this off, I am afraid the consequences will be far greater than just monetary ones. Raising revenue and continued bonding will be needed to achieve this.
Leslie Huhn:
The most important step we can take to stabilize property taxes is to fully fund the SFRA school funding. Program cuts are hurting our residents. Laying off teachers, educational staff and police officers is only exacerbating the the chances of us suffering a double dip recession. We need to reinstate the millionaire's tax so all of NJ's school's will be made whole once again. We must remain mindful of the NJ Constitution which guarantees a thorough and efficient education for NJ's children.
Leslie Huhn:
First and foremost the name calling must stop. We expect better behavior from our children and at the very least our elected officials should be held to the same standard. Our public discourse should pertain to policy and policy differences and the media should be held accountable for sensationalizing bad behavior. Our elected officials must agree to some level of compromise, one need not sacrifice principle to reach a compromise. This is the type of behavior our citizens would like to see more.

Jim Nye:
Work to attain tax fairness for all, reducing real estate taxes in the process and fully funding education.
Create incentive programs for employers to encourage hiring and reduce off-shoring.
Secure the lives of senior citizens by providing appropriate rebates and tax reduction programs.
Jim Nye:
Charter schools are an important and integral part of an overall plan for quality public education. Vouchers for public funds to support private education are not. Funds for busing students out of district for private education should be the responsibility of the private school. Public funds should be directed to public education.
Jim Nye:
Fully funding our schools under SFRA has not yet been done. Once we have done that and measured the results we can consider other funding possibilities and adjustments.
Jim Nye:
One agency, with the responsibility for the development and enforcement of all the best thinking and intentions should be established. Reducing the number of agencies involved would produce the funding necessary to support the programs.
Jim Nye:
The reliance on fossil fuel as a key ingredient is not a master plan for conservation and renewable energy. While not necessarily "lofty" goals, we should put tremendous focus on alternative sources of clean and sustainable energy. The technology is available to create the energy and the resulting jobs, taxes and reductions in pollutants are manifold.
Jim Nye:
Taking advantage of Federal funding, bonding, and user taxes/tolls are some supporting programs that can drive the rebuilding and expansion of our transportation systems. Of course benefits of such programs are jobs, industry growth and taxes.
Jim Nye:
The top wage earners in our State, those making over $250,000 should pay a higher rate of taxes. This would support the full-funding of our educational system as required by the State constitution and would result in lowering dramatically the property taxes. There likely are savings to be made in consolidating State programs, eliminating unfunded State mandates and pushing for effective shared services at the municipal and county level.
Jim Nye:
Open, honest, clear and respectful communication is an absolute must. Local legislators should hold forums for their constituency to keep them apprised of State matters and initiatives.

End pensions for Elected officials, Equalize education funding, and End Illegal Aliens taking American or our legal residents Jobs
Mark D. Quick:
In failing school districts nothing should be over looked, and idea of tossing more money at the problem has failed the last 30 years.
Mark D. Quick:
I believe every child is equal and so should be the funding.
Mark D. Quick:
First, regional planning with Sustainable NJ is nothing more that UN Agenda21, and must be stop. Instead of buying property rights the value of farmers should be addressed not sold off to foreign interests.
Mark D. Quick:
I support a more aggressive plan for energy and ending all foreign interests in our natural resources.
Mark D. Quick:
To fund these programs first we must end the over charging and Union control of the bid process.
Mark D. Quick:
Statewide we demand our members of Congress and US Senate to stand up for a fair return on the tax dollar. Locally Equalize education funding for our children.
Mark D. Quick:
End the political games played by both parties that keep us fighting while they rob our state blind for special interests.

Rose Ann Salanitri:
Defeating U.N. Agenda 21
Education Reform, through passing school choice legislation and enacting donor incentives for schools.
Judicial Reform by passing legislation requiring elections and retention elections for judges.
Rose Ann Salanitri:
We must be careful to increase choice by letting the money follow the children and not encumbering that choice with regulations. Private schools must be encouraged to participate in order to expand the choice of schools. Incentive programs can be created to encourage donors to send private money to the school of their choice, thereby creating accountability between the donor and the school and increasing competition between schools.
Rose Ann Salanitri:
The way the state allocates funds to schools must be analyzed and restructured. Currently accountability for failing schools is non-existent. Instead of continually sending absurd amounts of money to failing districts, these districts should be investigated and an accounting of how that money is being mismanaged should be implemented.
Additionally, judges who appropriate funds from the bench in defiance of their limited jurisdiction as judges should face severe consequences. The Abbott decisions are a perfect case of unjustifiable judicial activism that must be stopped.
Rose Ann Salanitri:
Absolutely not. This should be exclusively a local issue.
Rose Ann Salanitri:
I do not support the Governor's plan. I would seek more practical goals for renewable energy and conservation. The state can give tax benefits to private companies investing in renewable energy but these benefits should be in the form of incentives and not cash-back deals. Private companies have to be willing to invest their own monies into such ventures. If they aren't willing to travel that road, neither should the state.
Rose Ann Salanitri:
Bonding should be allowed as specified within our Constitution. Recent court rulings have allowed the raiding of these funds. The integrity of this system must be restored.
The citizens of NJ already pay too high a tax on gasoline. Since high gasoline taxes impact the cost of all goods that are transported, this tax should be reduced if anything.
Should NJ legislators cross party lines and concentrate on bringing jobs back to NJ, our tax revenues would increase and result in more money to spend on such initiatives.
Rose Ann Salanitri:
Regionalized service for school programs, such as special education should be analyzed. This represents a high cost for a low enrollment percentage. I do not believe in regionalization in all areas because it has the capacity to inadvertently increase the size of government.
Increasing state aid is not a solution since it will ultimately result in someone paying higher taxes..
I propose reassessing the cost of education in failing districts that currently costs absurd amounts of money. We have to develop an practical system of education that doesn't reward failure.
Rose Ann Salanitri:
We need to elect representatives that are dedicated more to the people of New Jersey than they are to furthering their political careers. All legislative ideas should be entertained and not just those from the majority party. To do less results in Taxation Without Representation for those who elect representatives in a minority party.
If we change the rules of procedures in Trenton, we can equal the playing field and perhaps change the makeup from strict partisan control to fair representation for all. Principle should come before party and any behavior to the contrary should be broadcast.
