PARSIPPANY — Governor Chris Christie announced on Friday afternoon a 23-cent gas tax hike along with the Legislature’s two top Democratic leaders.
That’s the time of the week government officials traditionally tend to drop bad news — and it didn’t go unnoticed by Parsippany Focus readers. The deal could go into effect as soon as next week if approved by lawmakers.
Assemblyman Dave Rible, the Republican conference leader, said the “announcement is great news for the residents of New Jersey who will benefit from a better transportation system and will enjoy significant tax savings,” according to NJ101FM.com.
Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick applauded Christie “for bringing Democrat leaders in the Legislature together on a compromise to fix our roads and bridges in a way that is equally fair to our overburdened taxpayers.”
And Robert Briant, Jr., CEO of the Utility and Transportation Contractors Association, said the deal is “the kind of long-term thinking that New Jersey has desperately needed on transportation infrastructure,” while “additional tax cuts will help create a more level playing field for working people in New Jersey.”
This is how the Assembly voted on the gas tax:
