On corruption:
"You pay, we play: Compliments of NJ politicians."
"If we can't fix it, it's not an election."
"NJ: It isn't what you know, it's who you know."
"All payoffs gladly accepted here."
"We're not as corrupt as we used to be."
"Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted."

On taxes/cost of living:
"New Jersey: We'll tax the #&!@ out of you."
"NJ and you, going broke together."
"If our auto insurance rates don't drive you to Pennsylvania, our property taxes will."
"New Jersey: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, tax it some more."
"Great Place to Visit, You Just Can't Afford to Move Here."
"If Living Here Were Easy, It Would Be Another State."

On traffic:
"Welcome to New Jersey: Expect delays."
"Got Jug-Handles?"
"We've Got Three Really, Really Big Roads."
"The Traffic Will Kill You, Have a Nice Day."

On space, dirtiness, random:
"New Jersey -- A state of confusion."
"New Jersey: Where did the gardens go?"
"Toxic waste for all!"
"Not much space left, but we will squeeze you in."
"What's It To You?"
"The State That Looks Like George Washington."
"Three-quarters of the State Is Really Nice."
"We Don't Need No Stinkin' Slogan."

and my favorite:
Even actors Joe Pesci (New Jersey guy) and Robert DeNiro (not New Jersey guy, but has visited) got into the act. Codey said the pair approached him at the recent premiere of the Broadway musical, "Jersey Boys" and pitched their own favorite.

"New Jersey: You Got a Problem With That?"
