TRENTON – Senator Shirley K. Turner made the following statement today following the Governor’s signature of S-2044, which implements the early retirement incentive program for FY09.
“I had a few simple goals this year when it came to the State Budget – to end our reliance on non-recurring revenues, to minimize cuts to programs that serve our most vulnerable residents, and to avoid new taxes. In order to achieve these goals, it was critical that we reduced the size of State government.
