Kean: Dems Should Support Pay To Play Ban

New Jersey State Senate Republican Leader Tom Kean, Jr. (R- Westfield) issued the following statement in response to comments made by Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono and Assembly Majority Leader Joe Cryan regarding pay to play reform:

"Any calls for pay to play reform cannot be considered serious or credible unless they include Republicans' repeated proposals to establish a blanket pay to play ban that extends to everyone- including labor unions. Public employee unions receive among the largest state and local government contracts in existence, yet are allowed to spend freely on political campaigns and activities. I stand ready and willing to work with anyone who is serious about enacting reform that treats everyone equally under the law."
