Governor Christie's proposal for a 10% tax cut would put $80.50 in the pockets of anyone with taxable income of $50,000 -- or what you'd blow on a single visit to ShopRite.
But the plan would cut $7,265 from the tax a millionaire pays -- as if they need the money.
Yet, editors at The Record were so eager to sell Christie's fictional State of the State address on Tuesday, they stepped all over each other with redundant front-page headlines today:
CHRISTIE WOULD SLASH 10% ACROSS ALL INCOMES
Tax cut for 'everyone'
Sadly, the plan would deprive the state of about $1 billion in revenue, so more public-school cuts are feared.
Interim Editor Douglas Clancy muted any criticism of Christie's many lies by burying it on the continuation page. An editorial was labeled, "Christie comeback."
From what? Binge eating over the holidays? Hoodwinking Oprah Winfrey, a fellow food addict, on the governor's compulsive eating habits?
If Clancy had any objectivity, he would have ordered a sidebar on Page 1 with Democratic criticism and a side-by-side comparison of Christie's claims and reality.
But what can you expect from a glorified newsroom bookkeeper whose days in the editor's job are numbered?
On the front of head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes' Local section, a Road Warrior column on how to set your parking brake leaves readers shaking their heads (L-1).
As does the absence of Hackensack news for another day.
Teardown
The distinctive, half-timbered building off Route 46 in Ridgefield Park, where a Gasho of Japan hibachi steakhouse once operated, is being demolished.
"This unique ... multiple-family farmhouse is typical of those found hundreds of years ago in certain regions of Japan," according to the Gasho Web site.
