Get the debt under control

I am a supporter of stem-cell researh. And I support open space. But I can’t support either of the state’s ballot questions because the primary issue in New Jersey this year is the state’s fiscal health. Without a plan for getting debt under control, it seems foolish to me to give the state the opportunity to borrow more. The open space vote is more of a close call — the fund is running out of cash — but I think we can wait a year.

Here is our editorial on the questions.
