"...New Jersey's #1 conservative -- the de facto leader of the Republican wing of the Republican party, and never afraid to say what he thinks -- one of the few GOP leaders in New Jersey who actually affect public policy."

"I hope every candidate and elected official in New Jersey reads Putting Taxpayers First from cover to cover. Although the book gives New Jersey Republicans detailed instructions on how they can again become relevant, he also reminds New Jersey Democrats of how our state also prospered in the past when their party was in control. At that time, Democrats and Republicans alike respected our Constitution and understood and applied New Jersey's motto: "Liberty and Prosperity."

"Mayor Steve Lonegan is the physician New Jersey needs to get the patient to come alive again. Instead of a litany of ailments and symptoms, Lonegan provides a menu for recovery. But first, he highlights the problem and how we got here: High taxes. Out-of-control spending. Budget blunders. Misappropriated appropriations. Misplaced funds. Overborrowing. Uncanny state aid formulas that even the top auditors don't understand. Enough spending pork to give the whole state high blood pressure."
-- Former Ogdensburg Mayor Paul Horuzy
"I've known Mayor Steve Lonegan ever since he sued the State of New Jersey over bonding $8.6 billion for school construction without voter approval. 'Putting Taxpayers First', provides a practical guide for creating a new conservative Majority aimed at taking back New Jersey from the Socialists in both parties. Lonegan believes that by reducing the size of government, cutting taxes, and putting control in the hands of the people, the conservative majority in New Jersey can win again."
-- Stephen Spinosa, Vice-Chairman, New Jersey Conservative Party
"This is a great book for citizens of New Jersey. But, it is also a book any citizen from a less taxed state should read because it will tell you what is coming to your state if you don't watch out. New Jersey is a fiscal basket case and Lonegan provides the solutions. They are simple - slow down the spending. It doesn't take a rocket scientist. Too bad our politicians can't even spell rocket."

"A quickly readable book that describes the problems and solutions for what ails NJ. May not convince the liberals and big government advocates, but provides a voice that may galvanize enough others (at least those of us who have not left the State due to bad government) to change the downward spiral of a once great and prosperous State."
