Dear Friend,

Last week I asked the Legislature to allow local governments to defer 50% of their pension payments for the year to ease budget costs and avoid an increase in property taxes during this national economic crisis. 

I wanted to take this opportunity to talk with the people of New Jersey about why I chose this course of action. I’ve recorded a video message which can be viewed on my website by clicking:

Jon S. Corzine
Governor
