Chamber Tax Council Member Appointed by Governor

Chamber Tax Council member John Pydyszewski, state tax policy manager, Johnson & Johnson, was appointed by Governor Corzine to the New Jersey Tax and Fiscal Policy Study Commission.

This Commission was established to study the state and local tax structure and related fiscal issues, including the ways in which the tax laws may be revised to ensure greater efficiency and equity in the assessment and collection of taxes, the identification and quantification of provisions that represent revenue policy and provisions that reflect indirect expenditure policy, the relative incidence of tax burdens and the effects of redistributing tax burdens or tax bases and the methods for providing funds for government services and infrastructure.

The commission is required to report annually on or before Jan. 1 to the Governor and to the Legislature. They will summarize its activities of the prior year and its planned activities for the current year. They will also submit interim reports setting forth the results of its studies and make recommendations of legal, administrative and organizational changes as the committee determines are appropriate.
