Republican presidential nominee frontrunner Mitt Romney will be in Bernardsville Wednesday as the attraction at a private $5,000 a-plate fundraising dinner for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sen. Joseph Kyrillos at a private fundraiser.
On Tuesday, Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex), the state Democratic Party chairman, called upon Romney to answer two questions for New Jersey voters.
“While Governor Romney is in New Jersey, I have two questions I hope he’ll answer for New Jersey voters,” Wisniewski said.
"First: Why won’t Governor Romney share the details of his budget plan with the American public?,” Wisniewski said. “While he won’t reveal specifics to ordinary voters, reporters overheard him sharing details with a group of wealthy donors at a fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida - proving once more that Romney believes the wealthy are entitled to special privileges not afforded the rest of us. He said he would reduce or eliminate the federal deduction for state income taxes as well as property tax deductions. The bottom line is we can only guess what these cuts and others would do to New Jersey families, because Romney has refused to share details with anyone who hasn’t ponied up $50,000 for a private fundraiser.
