N.J. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas Bracken's Statement on Gov. Christie Signing the TTF Funding and Tax Reform Legislation

The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce thanks Gov. Chris Christie for signing into law the landmark and transformational legislation that will be a catalyst for economic growth in New Jersey for years to come, and benefit everyone who lives and works here.

The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce also thanks Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto for their bipartisan leadership in making this legislation possible.

We also acknowledge and thank Sens. Paul Sarlo and Steve Oroho for the effective work they did originating this legislation. We also appreciate the leadership demonstrated by Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald and Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick.

Finally, we thank the members of the State Senate and State Assembly from both parties who had the courage to stand up and vote for this legislation and do what is right for New Jersey.

To ensure that every single cent of the gas tax is constitutionally dedicated to the Transportation Trust Fund, the State Chamber urges everyone to vote 'Yes' to Question 2 on Nov. 8. By voting 'Yes', the TTF will have the reliable, sustainable and long-term funding source it has needed for decades.
