Wisniewski: Christie Property Tax Rhetoric Can't Change the Facts of His Record

(Trenton, NJ) - New Jersey Democratic State Committee Chairman John Wisniewski released the following statement in response to Chris Christie's property tax press conference:

"Chris Christie may be entitled to his own opinion, but he certainly is not entitled to his own facts.  And no matter how strong his rhetoric, he can't change the facts of his record," said Wisniewski. 

"As governor, he gave a tax cut to New Jersey's 16,000 millionaires while middle class, senior, and disabled homeowners saw their property taxes rise.  Media reports have highlighted how the typical property tax bill in many South Jersey municipalities increased by more than 25%.  Homeowners need relief from their increased tax burden, not politically motivated press conferences by the Governor."
