NEW JERSEYANS VIEW BUDGET PROBLEMS AS SERIOUS But They’re Not Willing to Pay Higher Taxes To Solve Them
New Jerseyans say the state’s current budget problems are serious, and they blame them on too much government spending by the previous gubernatorial administration rather than on

According to the Star-Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers Poll, 83 percent of Garden State residents describe the budget problems as serious, including 39 percent who call them “very serious.” Only 10 percent of residents classify the problems as either “not very” or “not at all” serious.
