Jon S. Corzine proposed in his inaugural budget to raise the sales tax a penny and cut overall spending by $2 billion. So immediately, speculation followed as to whether the bill represented an alternative to the proposed sales tax increase, or anything else in Mr. Corzine's $30.9 billion budget. When asked about the bill, Mr. Corzine seemed lukewarm at best, saying that if it's not used for paying down debt or investing in capital functions, he probably have difficulty with it.
