New Brunswick, NJ – Democratic gubernatorial candidate and State Senator Barbara Buono today received an endorsement from Republican Mayor of Spotswood Nick Poliseno. The endorsement comes as property taxes have skyrocketed to record highs in New Jersey since Governor Christie took office.
“I am proud to support Barbara Buono for Governor because I believe that she is the best choice to rebuild New Jersey’s economy,” Poliseno said. “This endorsement goes beyond politics; it’s about our economy. Governor Christie talks a big game, but he has failed to deliver results for places like Spotswood, where too many of our friends and neighbors are struggling to make ends meet because of record high property taxes. The Governor’s property tax record is appalling and it will take new leadership and sensible solutions to right the ship.”
Under Governor Christie, net property taxes in New Jersey have increased by nearly 20 percent, according to the NJ Department of Community Affairs. In Spotswood, property taxes have risen by 18 percent, costing families $1034.78 on average.
“I am honored to receive an endorsement from a dedicated public servant, Mayor Nick Poliseno,” said Senator Buono. “No matter which political party you belong to, the Governor’s record of economic failure is crystal clear. It’s tougher than ever before for the middle class and working poor to make ends meet in New Jersey, and that’s unacceptable. As governor, I will work everyday to provide needed property tax relief to families across New Jersey.”
