NJ has been talking a big clean energy game, but the cuts to the Clean Energy Fund mean that programs to make clean energy accessible to lower income residents are delayed. The cuts to the NJ Transit capital budget mean that mass transit improvements in NJ are delayed or left unconsidered. Now, the state is saying we can afford to cut the taxes of giant corporations. We are here to say: absolutely not.
