“You’re not going to use the state as a piggybank so that we pay everything and you don’t have to,” Sweeney, D-Gloucester, said when announcing the plan. “Our money is leaving.”
With all due respect, Senator, the last year that I checked Belmar payers of the state income tax contributed over $6 million to your piggybank and received back only a little over a million in state aid. The disparity is probably even worse now. So why don’t we just end the state income tax scam altogether and we won’t ask you for one dime.

Wake up Voters!
As an Ironworker, I’ve met Steve Sweeney and I think of him as about the best of the lot (Dems). But he’s between a rock and a hard place himself. He knows that the bulk of Dem support in this state comes from the municipalities that pay little tax and that he has to keep providing them with the free stuff they want. The legislator is Dem and the governor is Dem. so he’s the best friend we’ve got in that horribly unfriendly group.
Now more than ever, we need Belmar to share PILOT revenue.
No more TAXES.
#2 I know this guy Sweeney. He is nothing more than a tax and spend liberal. His Iron workers get up to $90.00/hour. So do you really think he gives a crap about anybody in Belmar paying more taxes? This state is run by the most uncaring people one would want to know. Don’t need these types of friends.
Its time for charter schools and municipal consolidation….
#5 – Good morning Sir, As far as what he gets for his men in his local (Camden), that’s none of the public’s business. It’s not a government outfit. It’s entirely private organization, the way Unions are/were meant to be. Finally, I didn’t say he was our big buddy. I only pointed out he was the best of a really bad lot.
#7 Disagree !!!! The Iron Workers Union has a strangle hold on the NJ taxpayer. Why the hell do you think our bridges cost so much? It is the public’s business. Can’t built a bridge with out that union. That is of course if it has iron in it.
Read Gay Talese’s The Bridge: The building of the Verraazzano Narrows Bridge.
If only he had been a teacher in a public school. We’d be spared his speeches about social deterioration, that girls should be girls (no need to educate) and that boys should be boys (let them become iron workers).
