6. The worst of the candidates is Sweeney.

NJ finances are going south when the last of the Covid fed money is used up - maybe it already has been used up.

Then we follow up with proposed small grants for new house purchases and tax reductions and payments to seniors (I'm a senior).

Retired public employee pensions were supposed to have cost of living adjustments. There hasn't been one for 14 years. The lower end of those pensions are almost worthless and people depended on them when they planned for retirement. Both parties are responsible for that debacle, starting with Christie Whitman and Sweeney with the pension loan that was supposed to be paid back but never was.
