NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS TO PUBLIC OFFICIALS: SPEND MORE BUT TAX US LESS; JOB RATINGS UP OVER 1 YEAR AGO FOR ALL OFFICIALS AND INSTITUTIONS: PRESIDENT. GOVERNOR. STATE LEGISLATURE AND STATE SUPREME COURT
Most Hew Jerseyans continue to feel their state and local taxes are too high, and that they don’t get their money’s worth for those taxes. Despite this feeling, however, lopsided majorities also remain in favor of maintaining or increasing government spending for a wide range of programs, according to the latest Star-Ledger/Eagleton Poll.

A LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR?: THE PUBLIC SAYS “YES”; INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM?: THE PUBLIC ISN’T SURE
While most New Jerseyans have not read or heard anything about Governor Kean’s proposal for creating an office of Lieutenant Governor, a solid majority of residents think it is a good idea, according to the latest Star-Ledger/Eagleton Poll. The public is less certain, however, about amending the state’s constitution to allow for initiative and referendum, with just as many expressing no opinion on the subject as saying it is a good idea.
