We re spending a billion dollars more in auto insurance. New Jersey is a commuter state. Thousands of residents have to drive their cars to and from New York City every day. The governor tried and failed to get insurance reform through the legislature. Martin Perez and his wife voted for Whitman four years ago.
New Jersey is the highest insurance car insurance state in the United States.
And I ask myself why. Eagleton Institute Professor Henry Raimondo says Whitman must convince the huge number of undecided voters that she has done more than cut state income taxes to win. And this is an administration with one act. So I think the problem for her and the message for the Republican Party is there s got to be more than something as simple as a tax cut. American voters and New Jersey voters are more sophisticated than just saying the tax cut does it for us.
