In response to the governor's budget proposal Tuesday, Democrats, who control the Senate and Assembly, say the governor should forgo the income-tax cut and redirect that revenue to offset New Jerseyans' property taxes, a plan they say is fairer.

They claim that Christie is playing with budget numbers to make himself look good and is not doing enough to reduce the property-tax burden on New Jersey residents. Under Christie's proposal, $7,000 would be saved by a person making $1 million annually in 2013, but a family making $50,000 would see its taxes reduced by only about $70, according to Democrats. http://bit.ly/AwgAsB
