Kyrillos: GOVERNOR CHRISTIE’S BUDGET A MODEL FOR WASHINGTON
Menendez Senate has not passed a budget in over 1000 days
Middletown – February 21… Today, Joe Kyrillos applauded Governor Chris Christie’s third straight balanced budget as a blueprint for America’s future.
“Bob Menendez and his colleagues in the Senate could learn something from the tough choices we’re making to fix New Jersey’s finances,” Senator Joe Kyrillos said.
“It’s been over 1,000 days since the U.S. Senate has passed a budget. And, while we balance our budget here in New Jersey, Washington gives us trillion dollar plus deficits – kicking the can down the road spending money on the backs of our children and grandchildren. That kind of record is unacceptable and it needs to change.”
Governor Christie and his allies, including Senator Kyrillos, have led the fight to cap property taxes, reduce spending and reform New Jersey’s broken pension system – the very same issues that are going unaddressed in Washington and contributing to our growing $15.3 trillion in national debt.
When Governor Christie took office in 2010, the state faced a budget shortfall of over $13 billion – today that shortfall is zero.
Senator Kyrillos continued, “Today is proof positive that the New Jersey comeback has, in fact, begun. A lot of people doubted it could be done, but we did it – we are making the tough decisions that need to be made – and it is long past time we did the same in Washington. It is time for the American comeback.”
“While Bob Menendez is offering more of the same: more spending, more taxes and more debt, I am running on my record of fiscal responsibility and real reforms that have reigned in spending without adding extra burdens to New Jersey families.”
Since Bob Menendez was appointed fill Jon Corzine’s seat in the Senate, the national debt has jumped from $8.1 trillion to $15.3 trillion, the annual deficit has grown from $250 billion to over $1 trillion, and unemployment has risen from 4.7% to 8.3%.
“The status quo isn’t working. It is time for New Jersey to show Washington how real leadership works. It is working in New Jersey. It will work in Washington.”
Senator Joseph M. Kyrillos, Jr., 51, served as chairman of Governor Chris Christie’s 2009 gubernatorial campaign and has played a key leadership role in moving the Governor’s agenda through the legislature. Kyrillos is married to Susan Doctorian Kyrillos and they live in Middletown with their children Max and Georgia. He began serving New Jersey’s 13th Legislative District in 1988 when he was elected to the General Assembly. After spending two terms in the Assembly he was elected to the Senate where he has served since 1993. In addition to his official duties, the Senator is employed as Senior Managing Director of Colliers International, the commercial real estate services firm with offices in New York and Parsippany. He is also an advisor to the Newport Capital Group in Red Bank, NJ.

OK…so I take it back…Kyrillos can’t be any further up Christie’s butt…unless he comes out his naval. What a kiss ass.
The two decade career politician destroyed this state with the democrats, and did nothing to stop it! Now the voters of NJ get to vote against him. Glory days! Go home brillo Kyrillos. Everyone knows he is a lamb in denial. Lose baby lose.
The “Grand Compromise” which came very close to being agreed upon by the President and the Speaker would have cut $4 trillion from future projected deficits. The reason the talks failed was because the far right extremists in the House would not support the proposal. Those are the people Kyrillos should be speaking out against.
Merely being an elected official does not make one part of the “establishment”, if that were the case then George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ronald Reagan were all part of the “establishment”.
What makes someone part of the establishment is their mindset; does this person focus on the good of their country or on their own self interest and ego, are they open-minded and have the door open to hear the opinions of their constituents.
This is what I can tell you about Joe Kyrillos (Since he is my State Sen.), he has always had his door open and took the opinions of his constituents very seriously. And I might add a majority of those constituents are of a tea party mindset.
There are a lot of good things in the Gov’s budget that I like but the income tax cut is not one of them. It does almost nothing for the middle class and 40% of the cut goes to the top 1% of income earners.
Would much rather see some kind of property tax relief plan especially since rebates were discontinued.
Charles, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were members of a privileged, slave owning elite. I’d call that establishment.
Joe’s been leading the grassroots from the Navesink Country Club since he was born with that silver spoon in his mouth.
No. Kyrillos was born with a silver taxpayer dollar in his mouth. He is a freeloader.
In reference to bankrupting police, fire, and teachers by borrowing 2.6 billion from pension.”It was the right thing to do at the time”. Kyrillos.
Complaining about the “establishment” and being born with a silver spoon in their mouth” and about rich people not paying enough in taxes. Here I thought communism was relgated to the dustbin of history?
