Space and Gail Phoebus' campaign website highlighted the following issues:
Parker and Gail are opposed to the shady, backroom solar settlement that cost taxpayers millions and put a gag order on elected officials who dare to criticize the players involved. In fact, Parker and Gail led the charge expose any wrongdoing associated with the solar scandal by calling both federal and state investigations to make sure those responsible were held accountable for their actions.
Parker and Gail will join State Senator Mike Doherty in support of a new, fair education funding plan that would allocate an equal amount of money per student in every New Jersey School District. The current failed system that spends 60% of all education tax dollars in just 5% of the district's – the so-called “Abbott Districts” clustered in urban areas like Newark, Jersey City and Camden – has failed students and making the stat unaffordable for taxpayers.
Parker and Gail are both local small business owners who understand what it's like to meet payroll, balance budgets and navigate the onerous regulations passed down by those in Trenton. In the State Assembly, Gail will join Parker in fighting for legislation that reduces the tax burden on business and eliminates costly red tape so that New Jersey can become a more attractive place to build and grow a business, and create jobs.
Parker has been a leader in the State Assembly opposing an increase in the state gas tax being pushed for by Democrats and union special interests. He has also called for a review of the reasons it costs more to maintain and build roads in New Jersey than any other place in the nation. Together, Parker and Gail will stand firm against any gas tax increase being heaped upon the already most overtaxed people in America.
