Views on Issues (Provided from Lawrence-DiCicco Campaign Web site)
1. Committed to cutting taxes from Day One. The Corzine Democrats' record in Trenton is a consistent one: they consistently support raising our taxes. It's time we had representatives in Trenton who will fight against tax increases, not champion them like the Corzine Democrats. That's why Eugene E.T. Lawrence and Domenick DiCicco are committed to cutting taxes from Day One. * * * 2. Committed to reducing the size of government from Day One. Did you know almost six percent of the New Jersey workforce is employed by the government? It's time we started turning to the private sector to employ our citizens, rather than having taxpayers foot the bill. Eugene E.T. Lawrence and Domenick DiCicco are committed to reducing the size of government from Day One. Taxpayers could save $100 million by slashing the size of the state bureaucracy alone! Trenton needs a strict, thorough, and continuous auditing process to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not being wasted by state agencies and departments' excessive appetites. * * * 3. Committed to growing our economy from Day One. New Jersey's private job growth from 2000 to 2007 was an embarrassing 0.59 percent. Why did our neighbors in Delaware experience a 3.39 percent growth over that same period of time? The answer is simple: the Corzine Democrats' New Jersey is hostile to small business. Eugene E.T. Lawrence and Domenick DiCicco are committed to growing our economy from Day One. That's why they support incentivizing job creation and declaring New Jersey open for business again.
