Jerry Speaks Out on -- Racial Profiling and Civilian Review Boards The Charleston 5 (Right to Organize Labor Unions) Housing Instant Runoff Voting US Participation in the UN Conference on Racism

Positions on Current New Jersey Issues:

There are several important issues that face the citizens of N.J.  Some include:  urban sprawl, education, racial discrimination and profiling, health care, housing, employment, environmental concerns, tax relief and numerous others.

The Green Party has developed workable solutions to address these issues of concern. As your next governor for the state of N.J. business will not be as usual.  The democrats and
the republicans have destroyed our state long enough. Together we can make history
on election day in November.

Jerry supports:

• Instant Run Off Voting

• Closing of the Salem Nuclear Plant

• The establishment of a progressive property taxation system that would require those that make more to pay more end the no-fault auto insurance system and return to the old fault system. This would enable rates to be reduced.

Jerry opposes:

• The use of taxpayer dollars through taxation or any other method to fund private corporate projects. The Yankee/Nets should use their own money and borrowing power to build an arena in Newark or in any other community.
