New York, NY –
Today, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine delivers his annual budget address. WNYC's Bob Hennelly reports on how he plans to cope with a state economy that shows no signs of recovery.
REPORTER: The Corzine Administration says it's keeping all options open to compensate for a projected 10 percent decline in the state's tax revenue.
Even though it's an election year budget, much of the state's popular homestead property tax rebate program could be zeroed out. Already, many New Jersey homeowners are coping with the unnerving combination of higher property taxes and declining property values.
For months, Governor Corzine has continued to make spending cuts for the current year as revenues continued to slide. The Governor says he's committed to maintaining the state's role in health care, education and public safety. For WNYC i am Bob Hennelly.
