“New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine on Thursday said he’s willing to risk losing re-election by increasing highway tolls to try to resolve state fiscal woes.”
Let’s see:
Do our NJ state highway taxes more than account for the portion of the state budget for roads? Yes.
Do our NJ state drivers license fees, NJ state vehicle registration and title fees and all our DMV activities take in many millions more in revenue than the cost of operating the state DMV? Yes, again.
Does NJ have one of the highest set of automobile insurance premium rates in the country?, Yes, a third time.
So, how is it that Mr. Corzine has a laser focus for getting more revenue out of New Jersey’s drivers???
It seems to me its time for a “Drivers Revolt” in New Jersey!!!!!!!
Actually (believe it or not), in New Jersey the answer to that question is NO. That's why this state's transportation trust fund is going to be depleted entirely in a few years.
