"Governor Sherrill, the math of your first week in office doesn't add up for humanity. On January 11th, the legislature took a 67% raise to $82,000. On January 20th, you took your oath and a raise to $210,000.
Meanwhile, a January 30th government shutdown is looming, and a massive winter storm is hitting our streets. While you are safe behind your raises, my disabled trauma family and our documented service animal are being pushed into a Code Blue by the Monmouth County DCA and Bridges Outreach.
Since 1980, nearly 2 million people have died from homelessness in this country. How many more deaths will it take before you audit the agencies like the one managed by Jacqueline Surez and Matthew Baxter?
The U.S. is in everyone’s backyard but their own. We have trillions for war and billions for raises, but 'no room in the budget' for a family with a service dog. Who will take a pay cut for humanity?
124 of us are waiting for your answer."
