Assemblyman Jay Webber on the reconvening of the legislative group working to make citizens pay for political campaigns:

“Today, some Legislators are attempting to salvage an unconstitutional and twice-failed experiment in taxpayer-funded campaigns. I urge my colleagues to focus instead on policies that will actually make New Jersey more affordable and its government more accountable. We should cut spending and taxes rather than scramble to find ways to send taxpayer dollars to politicians and their consultants. And we should focus on reforms that will make elections more competitive and government more transparent, rather than resurrect a failed experiment that does neither.”
