Joseph Rullo is the only NJ Governor Candidate that has a plan to Raise Revenue and Lower Taxes

Drain the Trenton Swamp on June 6th and Vote Joseph Rullo Governor

New Jersey Republican Governor Candidate Joseph ‘Rudy’ Rullo says New Jersey needs more revenue and a major reduction in expenses in order to solve the unaffordability problem the state faces and unlike other Republican candidates, he actually has a plan to do it. Here are the yearly specifics.

Reductions:

First, Rullo wants to decrease expenses immediately by drastically cutting the number of appointment jobs he is responsible for. Of the 800+ positions Joe can fill, he expects to fill only 400 of them. NET SAVE ~$20,000,000.00.

Second, Rullo would fire all outside portfolio managers hired by the state to manage the Pension Fund. Joe will direct management of the pension fund to the in-state Investment Division. NET SAVE ~$700,000,000.00.

Third, Rullo will start the process of reducing the number of Superintendents, business administrators, and municipal tax assessors statewide. NET SAVE ~$100,000,000.00

Fourth, Rullo will dissolve the Transportation Trust Fund and consolidate all highway authorities. NET SAVE ~$100,0000,000.00.

Fifth, he will open up state employee health insurance bidding across America. NET SAVE ~$50,000,000.00.

Revenue Generation:

First, Rullo will legalize Marijuana. NET GAIN $1,000,000,000.00.

Rullo’s plan accounts to $1 Billion in saves and $1 Billion in gains.

The only losers in the Rullo plan are those responsible for hijacking growth and weighing down the budget to pay for their shenanigans.

No other candidates running in the Republican or Democratic primary have provided an idea quite like Rullo’s.

The effects of the plan will fix the pension, provide better health care for state employees, put money towards infrastructure, create a new economy, and make a leaner more responsible government. Rullo is a very easy choice this June 6th for Republican voters.
