Yesterday, NJPP joined Senator Lesniak, Eric Schoenberg from the Patriotic Millionaires and fellow advocates to decry the latest deal to replenish New Jersey’s Transportation Trust Fund – and eliminate billions of dollars in revenue while disproportionately helping the most well-off at the same time.
“In New Jersey, [there are] 9 million people and 70,000 of them die every year. Of the 70,000 who die only about 3,500 have to file an estate tax return with a check,” NJPP President Gordon MacInnes said. “So what you’re talking about is eliminating a very, very special source of revenue for the rest of us by rewarding 95 to 100 families every year with a sweetheart deal.”
