The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce's biannual Baker Tilly Spring Economic Outlook Survey brings grim news for the state's lagging employment prospects: Fourteen percent of those surveyed said they were currently considering moving their businesses out of New Jersey. Ten of the 14 business leaders considering relocating their businesses blamed high taxes or high cost of living as their reason. Just four cited opportunities elsewhere. "It is no surprise that high taxes are at the top of the list," said Tom Bracken, president and CEO of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. "New Jersey-based corporations pay a 9.4 percent tax rate, one of the highest in the country. Despite that, some in the state Legislature last month proposed increasing the corporate tax rate again to 10.75 percent. We fought hard against it and thankfully Gov. Christie vetoed it."

Last fall, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio rejected the entreaties of J.P. Morgan Chase& Co. to move its headquarters to the far West Side of Manhattan in exchange for hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks. The Democratic mayor called the company's subsidy request "a nonstarter."

The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce is supporting a major project in South Jersey that will provide the B.L. England electric generation plant in Beesley's Point with the natural gas supply it needs to stop burning coal, and pave the way for it to become one of the cleanest power plants in New Jersey. The project also will provide a critical back-up route for natural gas to more than 142,000 customers in Cape May and Atlantic counties who now depend on a single pipeline.
