Will State Budget Cuts Be Made In The Right Places?

Governor Corzine's $33 billion spending plan calls for $2.9 billion in cuts amid our state’s fiscal problems, including reductions in state funding for property tax rebates, hospitals, colleges, municipalities and nursing homes. Hospitals and towns have been reeling since earlier this year, when the Governor unveiled his budget plan. He also proposed steep cuts to higher education, the state Department of Environmental Protection, threatened to close nine state parks and eliminate the Department of Agriculture. A recent poll finds voters are unhappy with Gov. Corzine and the way he's handled the state budget and the way things are going in the Garden State. One poll reports Fifty-seven percent of us disapprove of how he's handled the state budget, with only 30 percent approving.


Do you think the budget cuts will be made in the right places, and if not where do you think the cuts should be made? If your one of the 57% that are not happy what are you doing to make sure your voice is heard?
