Greg Horton:
My top three priorities when elected will be to lower property taxes, prevent Camden County’s proposed consolidation of our police forces, and encourage business growth in New Jersey in order to lower our unemployment rate.
Greg Horton:
Charter schools offer the opportunity for communities to explore different avenues for reaching the various learning styles of the student population. We should not provide vouchers for private schools unless the private schools are held to the same standards public schools are beholden. Parental choice is nice when you have failing school systems. However, many of the failing schools do poorly, because students, parents, poor teachers, and weak administrators fail to live up to the minimal requirements to be successful. A good dose of structure, discipline, and real consequences backed
Greg Horton:
State legislators need to rewrite and equalize the school funding formula for all students, because the current tax system in our state is suffocating our seniors and young families. The State should not discriminate from one student to the next. I propose that the state allocates equal funding for all students, followed by an equation that will take care of our poor and less fortunate students/families.
Greg Horton:
Regional planning initiatives need to be implemented to prevent sprawl and protect our precious resources. We should strengthen our current green acre funds and require developers to pay into the system when new plans are approved by local municipalities.
Greg Horton:
I support the energy master plan set forth by Governor Christie. Safe, clean, cost-effective energy is paramount. We must maintain our current forms of energy systems, while exploring and acquiring reasonable and defendable cost estimates for all renewable energy projects. The State should not subsidize cost prohibitive initiatives, but further invest in sound, aggressive conservation measures to reduce costs and improve our efficiency.
Greg Horton:
One of the States responsibilities is to provide a safe and efficient infrastructure. The NJTTF needs to rank order all pending projects and devise a long term cost analysis and scheduling cycle to complete these projects. The legislators need to protect and guarantee the funding to these projects over a period of time.
Greg Horton:
The best way to reduce our property taxes is for State legislators to rewrite and equalize the school funding formula for all students and by limiting the role of our County government. We can start reducing our property taxes if we demand that all budgets (County, Municipal, and School) be placed on the ballot for voter approval. If the budgets do not pass, then we must use the previous year’s budget, less two percent. Legislators can further help local municipalities by streamlining and diminishing the burdensome red tape required of small towns (COAH, special education reform, etc.)
Greg Horton:
Public discourse can be drastically improved by setting term limits for all County and State elected positions. Most of the problems created in New Jersey come about from career politicians that have forgotten their obligation to represent that which is best for their constituents. If we enact term limits, we will create a better pool of officials that have a fresh perspective and a heightened level of enthusiasm for taking on the tough issues.

Allan Richardson:
1. Stop the Camden County Freeholder takeover of our municipal police forces.
2. Stop efforts to impose municipal income and sales taxes.
3. Foster job creation by reducing the size and cost of government at all levels and re-examine regulations, discarding those that impede economic growth.
We need to focus on the essentials: Education, public health & safety ad infrastructure.
Allan Richardson:
We should encourage charter schools and the innovation they were initially created to produce. Vouchers for children to attend schools out of district should be advanced to provide incentives to all school systems to improve. Private schools should not be eligible for vouchers funded by tax dollars unless they meet the teacher certification standards set by the state and agree to follow New Jersey's anti-discrimination laws.
Allan Richardson:
The current approach to school funding is emblematic of 1960s thinking: If you have a problem, throw money at it. The result is an unfair funding system that punishes the suburban poor and middle class and fails to deliver quality education. The state should allocate equal funding for all students, then devise a funding formula that will respect the needs of our poor and less fortunate students and families while reducing taxes on our local school districts.
Allan Richardson:
Development needs to be channeled to areas that either have the infrastructure in place to handle it or which can deliver the infrastructure that is needed in an efficient manner. We need to devise a stable source of funding for open space and farmland preservation.
Allan Richardson:
Nuclear power no longer appears to be a reasonably safe alternative to our energy needs. In the short and medium terms, aggressive conservation measures appear to be our best approach to improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. Greater use of solar, wind and other renewable energy sources are also necessary, as it is imperative that we reduce our reliance on imported hydrocarbons. In order to produce savings in energy, our goals should be to invest in insulation, enact solar building requirements, and create more efficient infrastructure.
Allan Richardson:
The first step is to ban use of transportation revenues for anything other than transportation projects. Otherwise, I support the plan put forth by Gov. Christie and the Democratic legislature to invest approximately $16 billion over the next five years. This was passed in the 2012 budget with bipartisan support.
Allan Richardson:
The rebate program is nothing more than a gimmick. Tax us less in the first place, don’t “give” us back some of our money. The cap program is so riddled with exceptions that it will do nothing to stop the relentless growth in taxes. The best way to reduce property taxes is to cut government. We need to concentrate on the core missions: Education, public health & safety, and infrastructure. We need binding voter approval of any county, municipality or school district budget that either raises taxes or increases spending. If the budget fails, the prior year’s budget takes effect.
Allan Richardson:
We can greatly improve the public conversation by setting term limits for all elected officials at all levels of government, improving and enforcing pay to play and by enhancing transparency in government. The bulk of the political hostility stems not from differences over policy, but from greed for public funds that nourish entrenched office-holders.
