Codey’s Primary Screws Taxpayers
Dick Codey got his way. New Jersey moved its presidential primary from June to February. Virtually every other state moved its primary too and New Jersey is no better suited to be “relevant” than it had in June. Furthermore, the $10 million New Jersey has set aside for holding this February primary sounds like it won’t be enough.
What will the legislature do? Pull it from the General Fund:
If the price runs over, the state legislature will appropriate money from the general fund
I suppose there will be another call to raise taxes to cover that expense.
So predictable.
Of course, shore towns will be scrambling finding volunteers in the off-season to run the polling stations. Senate President Codey does not understand New Jersey shore.
