New Jersey: Decoded — Sixteen weeks until New Jersey can't pay its construction bills, the transportation commissioner tells lawmakers: I'm not worried. A solution will be found.
Neither a proposed estate tax cut nor the near-bankruptcy of the Transportation Trust Fund has convinced New Jersey residents to get behind an increase in the state's gas tax, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton poll out Thursday.
Gov. Chris Christie says he'll react once Democrats act on a gas tax. Lawmakers want assurances and negotiations over how to pay for transportation projects.
Gov. Chris Christie visits the NJ 101.5 studios with lots to talk about — including his Trump endorsement, the gas tax, Atlantic City and a possible NJ Transit strike.
Christie didn't explicitly say how he'd fix the transportation tax fund, or whether he might eventually support a gas tax — instead calling for "fairness" in any proposal.
Would you be in favor of raising the gas tax in New Jersey, if the money only went to replenish the nearly bankrupt Transportation Trust Fund and used to repair the state's crumbling roads and bridges?
