Summary of the topics discussed by Seth Grossman on the "Liberty and Prosperity" WPG Radio program. ????️ The New Jersey Governor's Election (Jack Ciattarelli vs. Mikey Sherrill) The bulk of the discussion focused on the election, with Grossman outlining points he believes voters should know. High Electric Bills: Grossman blames high electricity costs on Governor Murphy for shutting down six productive power plants (including nuclear and Beesleys Point) in pursuit of "green energy." He argues that alternative sources (wind, solar, tidal) are unreliable and that only coal, oil, gas, or nuclear can provide consistent power. He states that Jack Ciattarelli has promised to reopen or replace these plants. Critique of Mikie Sherrill's Record: He challenges Sherrill's background, claiming: She was not a "military commander" but worked in an office. She was a lawyer who didn't practice in a courtroom but worked for a firm on "woke lawsuits" (DEI, anti-American). She was "never a prosecutor" but a "counselor" for criminal justice reform. Sherrill's Stances: He claims Sherrill is in favor of "open borders," "sanctuary" policies in New Jersey, and "reparations for slavery." Teachers' Union Endorsement and "Statewide Property Tax": This was a major point of discussion. Grossman alleges: The teachers' union pension system is a "Ponzi scheme" that was "$50 billion in the hole" as of 2014. The union wants a constitutional amendment to create a new, "mandatory statewide property tax" to bail out the pension fund. He claims the union spent millions to defeat former Senate President Steve Sweeney for previously blocking this. He asserts that Sherrill's endorsement from the union is "code word" for her commitment to pushing this new statewide tax. Allegations of "Fake News": Grossman claims that Democrats and "billionaires" created a "fake charity" to fund a "fake newspaper" called the New Jersey Independent. He alleges this publication is spreading the lie that Ciattarelli will raise the sales tax. He claims Sherrill's TV ads are now quoting this "fake newspaper," when in reality, he argues, it is Sherrill who is committed to raising taxes via the pension bailout. ????️ Atlantic City State Takeover Grossman criticizes Senator Vince Polistina's proposal for a 10-year extension of the state takeover of Atlantic City. He argues the only reason Atlantic City fell into financial trouble was because of the first state takeover under Governor Chris Christie (starting in 2010). He claims Christie, to avoid conflict with unions while planning his presidential run, allowed Atlantic City to run "illegal budgets" for six years, accumulating $400 million in debt. The subsequent takeover, he argues, was just a "pretense" to manage the debt Christie created. ☀️ A "Nightmare" in Florida: A Cautionary Tax Tale Grossman discusses a ballot question in Florida, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, that would give the option to eliminate property taxes and fund schools and services with state taxes instead. He calls this a "nightmare" and uses New Jersey's history as a "cautionary tale." He argues that property taxes are the "most fair" form of taxation because everyone (including renters and owners) pays, and it makes government spending accountable to the taxpayers. He warns against creating "corrupt voters"—people who can vote for more government spending while thinking "somebody else" (through sales or income taxes) will pay for it. He points to New Jersey's 1966 introduction of the sales tax and 1976 introduction of the income tax, both of which failed to lower property taxes as promised.
