Hello, this is Governor Christie Whitman.
New Jersey deserves a better transportation system.
And we need to keep sprawl from clogging our roads and complicating our lives. I have a plan for doing that. I have proposed that we ask New Jersey voters this November to approve a seven-cent increase in the gas tax to provide stable funding for transportation needs and open space preservation. I want the Legislature to put the question on the ballot. With a stable funding source, we ll be able to help your town fix that crumbling bridge.
