🚨Incoming THREAD🚨 on changes in NJ State Government staffing levels from 2008 through 2017 per the 2017 NJ Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR - pg. 370)...if you had to guess whether NJ's workforce grew or shrank, which would it be? #mathisreal state.nj.us/treasury/omb/p…
Some of the big 👀 popping numbers:
Dept of Health's workforce is down 46% since 2008 from 1,978 to 1,074. So about 900 fewer workers. Think that might have an impact on health inspections & whatnot?

Dept of Human Services, which is responsible for a whole lot w/ regard to the safety net & delivery of critical programs, dropped from 15,684 in 2008 to 11,306 in 2017 for a reduction of 23% - or 4,300ish. Think that might make it tougher to have an efficient welfare system?
"On average, MA households with the lowest incomes contribute a larger percentage of their incomes in state & local taxes than do households in the top 20 percent of incomes. In fact, those with the highest incomes contribute the lowest percentage of their incomes." - @MassBudget
This report showcases exactly why we need to continue to pursue the #FairShareAmendment (aka #MillionairesTax) to make our state’s tax system fairer and more progressive, and to raise badly needed revenue to invest in our schools and transportation system

If re-elected, I plan to file the #FairShareAmendment as a legislative constitutional amendment in January. senatorjasonlewis.com/2018/06/19/fai…
This approach would not be subject to the same issues that derailed the @RaiseUpMA ballot question, & it's a policy fight that we can and must win
