Matalucci. has J never once tried to influence me as a V legislator." the candidate said of Amico's claim that Muziani's delayed vote on the drinking age reduction was linked to Matalucci "s nightspots in Avalon (see Political Scene). "If there's anything I think I've established after 20 years in politics in this Chinnici • From Page 14 1 : Committee than I do in' my own business," J the assemblyman said, calling that ! legislative wojrk "heartwarming" because I it allows him1 to meet with state depart- • ment heads "and gives us a channel to review their budgets, line item by line item." Sometimes he "gets a little parochial" 1 by interceding, he said, with department heads like the Attorney General who he [ sees about "legitimate needs" from First i District constituents. Like his opponent. Peter Amico. Chinnici criticizes state auto insurance "reforms" that charge South Jersey drivers by hiking their premiums to com ' pensate for higher accident rates upstate. The "equalization" is "very unfair." said Chinnici but. unlike Amico. the assemblyman contends that "the Democrats have been in complete control of that and it's their program we're dissatisfied with. "WE'RE VERY UPSET about it." he said for South Jersey Republicans who plan to change the law if they win a legislative majority Nov. 5. Restaurant owners are not pleased by a "very strict" anti-smoking law he favors, Chinnici conceded, but he argues, there's "no reason" non-smokers should be bothered by smokers in public places "All the bills are passed." said the reformed cigar and cigarette smoker, "so now it's just a matter of promulgating the regulations. It isn't going to be done overI night (but) I'm pleased to see it "I know the liquor industry is hurting because of the drunk driving laws that we passed." he reflected, arguing, however, that "we can't tolerate" drunk drivers killing others on the roads Despite expected opposition from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers).
