Senator Steve Oroho(R-Sussex, Morris,Hunterdon) praised thepassage of two bills inboth houses of the statelegislature that wouldstreamline NewJerseys cumbersometax structure.S-2753 simplifies the

formula by whichbusiness taxes arecalculated, requiring asingle sales factorformula instead of thecurrent three factorformula.S-2754 provides tax

relief to smallbusinesses by allowingtaxpayers who generateincome from differenttypes of businesses tooffset gains from onetype of business withlosses from another.Senator Oroho is a

sponsor of both bills.For far too long, New

Oroho Says Tax Reform Bills Important

Part of Job Growth StrategyJerseys unwieldy andoutdated tax code haschased our businesses andjobs to neighboringstates, said Oroho.Its clear that businesses

will stay in or move tostates that have tax andregulatory structures thatare competitive and

consistent, allowing themto plan for the future. These bills will help

New Jersey keep the jobswe already have, whilemaking New Jersey amore attractive place forbusinesses to relocate toand create new jobs.Senator Oroho noted the

timely nature of thesebills after a recent studywas released by AlliedVan Lines which rankedNew Jersey fourth in theirlist of states that had thehighest number of people

moving out of state versusthose moving into the

state of New Jersey.Over the past decade

we have driven NewJerseys once proud com-petitive position into theground by over-taxation,over-regulation andover-spending, Orohocontinued.We need to create a

multi-year, multi-facetedtax reform strategy thatwill send a message tofamilies and businessesthat Trenton is workingto enhance our economy,create jobs and makeNew Jersey competitiveagain."I applaud the governor

for including thesemeasures in his statebudget proposal and lookforward to continuing todevelop an economicdevelopment strategy tobring jobs back to New

Jersey," concludedOroho.

Dr. John Harringtoninvites all members of thelocal community to attenda free health seminarfocused on Lyme diseaseand the many questionsthat surround the illness.This seminar will answer

questions revolving aro-und the treatment of thedisease, as well as ques-tions about how long thedisease lasts, and if it iscurable.The event will be held

Tuesday, March 22nd, at6:30pm, at the CatherineDickson Hoffman Libraryin Blairstown.Seating will be limited,

so please call the SunriseNutrition Center at 908-362-6868 to reserve yourseat today.Dr. John Harrington has

been practicing Nutrition

Response Testing for 5years and has set up

Personally DesignedNutrition Programs tohelp others find naturalsolutions to their healthconditions.He has been in the field

of alternative medicinefor 13 years practicingChiropractic and Clinical

Nutrition mainly in theBlairstown area.Lyme disease, or Lyme

borreliosis, is an emerg-ing infectious diseasecaused by at least threespecies of bacteriabelonging to the genusBorrelia.Borrelia burgdorferi

sensu stricto is the maincause of Lyme disease inthe United States,whereas Borrelia afzeliiand Borrelia garinii causemost European cases.The disease is named

after the town of Lyme,Connecticut, where a

Sunrise Nutrition Center Holds

Free Lyme Disease Health Seminarnumber of cases wereidentified in 1975.Although Allen Steererealized in 1978 thatLyme disease was atick-borne disease, thecause of the diseaseremained a mysteryuntil 1981, when B.

burgdorferi was identi-fied by Willy Burgdor-fer.Lyme disease is the

most common tick-borne disease in theNorthern Hemisphere.Borrelia is transmittedto humans by the bite ofinfected ticks belongingto a few species of thegenus Ixodes ("hardticks"). Early symp-toms may include fever,headache, fatigue,depression, and a char-acteristic circular skin

rash called erythemamigrans.
