The Buono for Governor campaign picked up another endorsement yesterday when former state party chairman and former assembly majority leader, Assemblyman Joe Cryan (D-20) announced his support for Sen. Barbara Buono's candidacy for governor.
Cryan made his announcement while attending the Women's Political Caucus of New Jersey in New Brunswick, where he was accepting the organization's "Good Guy" Award.
Cryan's endorsement comes on the heels of Buono announcing the official kick off of her campaign scheduled for February 2nd, at New Brunswick High School (If you would like to attend you need to RSVP).
Even though Joe Cryan may have fallen out of favor with Democratic Party big-wigs over the past year, make no mistake, Cryan's endorsement is big. Cryan's democratic machine will be extremely useful getting out the vote and helping with much needed fundraising for Buono's uphill battle against Christ Christie.

CRYAN - MASSACHUSETTS = HIGHER PROPERTY TAX HIKES THAN NEW JERSEY & MONTHLY STREET LIGHT TAXES
From New Jersey Assembly Democrats's Notes -
Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Cryan on Thursday morning noted statistics show Gov. Chris Christie’s proposed property tax cap would lead to higher property tax hikes in New Jersey than the state has seen the last two years.
Under the 4 percent property tax cap implemented by Democrats three years ago, New Jersey property taxes have increased 3.7 percent in 2008 and 3.3 percent in 2009, following years of increases hovering around 7.5 percent.
Christie wants to implement Massachusetts’ 2.5 percent constitutional cap, but according to Real Estate Economy Watch that cap led to a 4.8 percent hike in 2008 and a 5.1 percent increase in 2009.
“Gov. Christie’s slapped-together plan would drive New Jersey backwards in its efforts to control property taxes,” said Cryan (D-Union). “Gov. Christie and facts have never been friends, but the facts clearly show that his plan would lead to higher property taxes for New Jersey than we already have, and no one thinks that’s a good idea.”
The Democratic Legislature has approved a tougher new 2.9 percent statutory cap that builds on the success of the 4 percent cap.
Cryan also noted how the Massachusetts cap has led to, among other things, residents being charged $17 per month to keep street lights on in front of their homes.
“Gov. Christie would have us believe Massachusetts is a tax-free paradise, but under his plan, we might as well put coin slots on the street lights in front of our homes,” Cryan said. “This isn’t hysteria. This is reality, and that reality is that Gov. Christie’s plan is built on rhetoric, not facts.”
