Dear Editor:
Chris Christie’s new renewable energy initiative is not just good in theory, its good business for New Jersey. It will create the jobs that will help us recover from the economic crisis gripping our State. Jon Corzine, on the other hand, wants to maintain the onerous, anti-business environment, caring not a bit that it hurts the middle class by driving the good jobs out of state.
Christie has focused on the critical issue, the disastrous downturn in our economy, and come up with a solution that provides immediate help for the struggling middle class even as it fosters our long-term need to clean up the air we breathe. By making New Jersey a business-friendly place, he’ll attract manufacturers of renewable energy sources. This is what our neighboring states have been successfully doing. These are the kind of better paying jobs which have long sustained the middle class, allowing them to own their own home, send their children to college, and even have something left over for the occasional night out. And with the highest unemployment rate in years and the loss of 135,000 jobs – including 34,000 manufacturing jobs – in the last year, the middle class badly needs this boost.
Jon Corzine looks for new ways to tax businesses. Chris Christie looks for new ways to bring jobs to New Jersey.
Sincerely,
Paul Presman
