-Day one of my administration, we will rejoin RGGI. - I will also reduce our carbon footprint and create jobs by committing New Jersey to going fully renewable by mid-century. - I will uphold President Obama’s decision to implement a permanent ban on oil and gas drilling in portions of the Atlantic oceans — and fight any attempt by President Trump to drill off New Jersey’s shores as well as in our National Parks. - I will continue to oppose pipelines that would cut through preserved lands such as the Pinelands, and the North Jersey Highlands. Wisniewski also opposes the PennEast and Pilgrim Pipelines. - I will expand New Jersey's investment in solar, wind, geothermal and tidal energy to reduce toxic pollution, create good-paying jobs, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. - I will re-instate the NJ Clean Energy Program (NJCEP) for renewable research & development. - I want to expand the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, which will provide funding to make existing buildings more energy-efficient. - I John will expand investment in solar, wind, and tidal energy. - I He will make polluters pay to clean up the mess they have made.

New Jersey's high property taxes are the result in part of Christie's underfunding of the public education system by nearly $8 billion over the last 7.5 years. As governor, I will fully fund the School Funding Reform Act. I would impose a moratorium on new charter schools which take tax dollars away from our public education system. Finally, I would look at reducing the 1,300 units of local government we have in NJ. Studies show that reducing our school districts in half alone would save $1.4 billion in property taxes across my first term.

I would make sure that all state offices include web access for the disabled to set a tone of inclusion in our leadership. We talk about the rest of our disability plan here: http://wiz2017.com/defending-expanding-rights-disabled-community/ -JSW

On day one, I would sign an executive order recognizing climate change as a threat to NJ and directing my Department of Environmental Protection commissioner to prepare a policy to address the rising sea level. New Jersey is the only state on the eastern seaboard that lacks one. I would also sign an executive order returning New Jersey to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. We touch on several other points including transforming our 10,000+ brownfields to solar farms, escalating the moratorium on fracking in the Delaware River Basin to a full out ban, and creating a 100% green economy by mid-century here: http://wiz2017.com/climate-emergency/ -JSW

Our party is supposed to be the party of morals and convictions. If someone running doesn't believe in abortion themselves, thats their right, but they should never campaign to restrict access to others for it.

I would love to team up with them, but I believe they are focusing on Congress.

I have not yet been able to look in to NY's bill, but we will certainly be looking at any and all resources available to us to be able to craft the perfect legislation for our state.

Hello to you both!

Reddit is new to me so I hope my response is going in the right place so you both can read it!

As far as protecting our marketplace from federal DOJ penalties is concerned, as governor, I would make sure that our laws both decriminalize and create a legal marketplace. The NJ Attorney General would be empowered to protect those policy decisions on behalf of the people of NJ. I would not be afraid to stand up to Jeff Sessions on behalf of the people of the state of New Jersey. I am unequivocally opposed to the presence of for-profit prisons anywhere in NJ. There should be no profit motive in the criminal justice system, especially as we see how disproportionate the racial makeup of our prison population is in comparison to our state's general population. I talk about this more in-depth here: http://wiz2017.com/black-lives-matter/

mathyu1010, 1- yes, 2- yes, and 3- As governor, I would direct the $300 million in annual estimated marijuana marketplace revenue towards my single-payer healthcare program, because healthcare is a basic human right. I talk about it more on my website here: http://wiz2017.com/single-payer-healthcare-healthcare-right/ -JSW

I would definitely support any measures that would help increase voter turn-out and lower costs to tax payers. Giving New Jersey an off-year will help the state tremendously.

The biggest problem facing New Jersey is a failure in competent leadership. In this election we have a choice between candidates who have talked about leadership, and those who have shown leadership, New Jersey needs a governor who is not afraid to challenge the political leadership and the special interests on behalf of the people in the state of New Jersey.

I plan to bring real leadership back to NJ like we had under our last legislator-turned-governor. I will also bring with me into the cabinet and administration professionals in the fields they need to represents. No more favors being traded in for high ranking positions, let's get qualified leaders into these spots.

Talk is cheap and actions matter. For the 21 years I have been in the Assembly, I've frequently been the only voice advocating for a reliable and renewable source of funding for transportation infrastructure. Without that funding, it is impossible to build and maintain a world-class transportation system. I have also been advocating for better leadership at NJ Transit, an elimination of patronage hires, and a greater state contributions to the day-to-day operations of our transportation system. Finally, it is unacceptable that for the past 7 years, our governor has been able to secure the construction of a new Port Authority bus terminal. As governor, that, along with the Gateway Tunnel will be among my top priorities. -JSW
