Two Amendments to NJ State Constitution:

Public Question #1:  < View >   < Download >

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO PERMIT MONEY FROM EXISTING GAMES OF CHANCE TO SUPPORT VETERANS’ ORGANIZATIONS

Morris Patriots:  While many veterans' organizations are struggling financially, and seek to conduct games of chance to help support their operations, we believe you can decide this question for yourself.

Public Question #2:  < View >   < Download >

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO SET A STATE MINIMUM WAGE WITH ANNUAL COST OF LIVING INCREASES 

Morris Patriots:  We recommend you vote NO, for several reasons.  First, the NJ State Constitution is a completely inappropropriate document by which to set wage policy - it's a cheap political ploy.  Second, this "sounds good" but is terrible policy.  As NJ has adopted more regulation, more taxes, and increased minimum wage rules, we have dropped from #1 business climate to #49 out of 50 states in business climate.  Raising the minimum wage increases the cost to do business, and businesses in the current economic climate cannot increase prices to recover this increased cost - so they either REDUCE the number of current employees, or DON'T HIRE new employees, because of the cost.  With minority teen employment already at 35%, reducing the profit of businesses further will only increase the unemployment number.  For those seeking that critical first job, adoption of this question would only make it that much harder to find that first job.  Also, businesses that can barely make it now will have less ability to survive, and fewer employees - increasing the liklihood of business failure.  Who Benefits?  Labor Unions, whose contracts are linked to wage hikes ... and politicians who can claim they've helped the workers - even as their actions worsen our business climate and reduce jobs.  Vote NO on Question #2.
