Help trim the fat
We've been encouraging readers to send us ideas on ways government can reduce spending - and lower taxes. We published many of the responses on our op-ed page Thursday. We will be publishing many more in the days ahead.
Among my favorites:
Require all levels of government to publish a list of employee salaries and benefits.
Put all unused vacation, holiday and sick days wages into a 401(k)-type account at the end of the year rather than having them accrue over a number of years and basing the payout at retirement on the final rate of pay.
Stop changing state signs every time we change governors.
''Nonviolent prisoners should not be paroled for good behavior while sitting around, but for good 'work behavior' on state highway cleanups and other projects.''
''Consolidate! Consolidate! Consolidate!''
Eliminate the ''VIP vehicles assigned to state department heads, chiefs of staff, governors' aides and others who think they are important in government.''
Keep those ideas coming. We will print them, post them online and forward them to Gov. Corzine and the Legislature.

I think politicians in New Jersey should increase spending and increase taxes until no one is left in this state except politicians.Then we will all be in New Orleans where the government isn't as corrupt.
WHEN YOU USE UP YOUR CREDIT LINE , ITS TIME TO PAYUP.RESTORING THE NEXT LEVEL OF INCOME TAX WILL BE THE ONLY WAY OUT.
