The incoming governor of New Jersey is threatening to withhold federal taxes from the Trump administration.
In an interview with comedian Jon Stewart, Mikie Sherill said she had thought about witholding tax dollars “all the time” and concluded that is “great idea.”
“If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said.
“It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom has also floated withholding tax dollars, but this turned out to be an empty threat.
“We’re assessing it, we have looked into it, and Finance is looking across the spectrum of options,” he said in an interview with Politico back in June.
“But it’s limited, because most of that distribution and transfer comes from individual taxpayers,” he continued.
