1. Cut taxes for working families who struggle to make ends meet in South Jersey.
Ask yourself a simple question: Do you think you pay too much or too little on your tax bill each year?
If you think you pay too much, isn't it time you had someone representing you in Trenton who agrees?
Jim Beach, Lou Greenwald, and Pam Lampitt don't think your taxes are too high. That's why they continue to help Jon Corzine raise your taxes.
Joe Adolf, Scot DeCristofaro, and Brian Greenberg have a better way.
Joe, Scot, and Brian want to cut taxes for working families, the people who work hard and play by the rules, but struggle to make ends meet when Democrats keep making it more and more expensive to live in New Jersey.
That's why Joe, Scot, and Brian support a 30% property tax credit for seniors and middle class households earning $200,000 or less and a 20% property tax credit for all other homeowners.
It's long past time our representatives in Trenton started focusing on restraining government spending and using tax dollars more efficiently, not simply raising taxes year after year.

2. Support small business growth to create good jobs that are close to home.
Did you know that New Jersey was one of the five worst states in the entire country for small business in 2008?
The Trenton Democrats aren't just satisfied with being one of the most hostile states in the country for small businesses. They're proud of it.
Joe Adolf, Scot DeCristofaro, and Brian Greenberg know the value of small business to our state.
Small business growth means good jobs that are close to home. Why should people living and raising their families in South Jersey be forced to commute to Philadelphia or elsewhere for work?
Joe, Scot, and Brian know that small business growth also means lower property taxes, as homeowners are no longer forced to bear a disproportionate share of the tax burden in their communities.
That's why Joe, Scot, and Brian support expanding economic incentives to attract new, high-paying jobs and enacting regulatory reforms that reduce the time it takes to get approval for economic development projects.

3. Fight corruption and waste in our state government.
Camden County knows all too well about the cost of corruption and waste in our state government.
We have seen first-hand the way Wayne Bryant, convicted of bribery and fraud, used his position as a State Senator to enrich himself and his family.
But Wayne Bryant was just the tip of the iceberg. Several of his colleagues in the legislature -- Sharpe James, Joe Coniglio, Mims Hackett, and others -- have been caught feeding from the public trough.
Enough is enough.
We need real ethics reform in Trenton.
Joe Adolf, Scot DeCristofaro, and Brian Greenberg have a plan.
One critical step to cleaning up Trenton is reforming our public pension system. It's time to put a stop to pension boosting and tacking by public officials.
But that's not all. It's also time to demand convicted public officials forfeit their entire pensions. It is unconscionable that taxpayers should continue to fund the retirement of those who abused the public trust.
By systematically rooting out corruption and waste in Trenton, we can cut taxes and reduce the growth of government spending.
