Career
As an Assemblyman, Gregg has sponsored legislation eliminating New Jersey's duplicative Sub Chapter S Corporation Tax as well as legislation which would allow vendors to retain 1% of the sales tax they collect, as compensation for administrative costs. The Assemblyman has also sponsored the 10-20-Life Law which permits extended penalties for offenders using weapons during the course of committing a crime. The Assemblyman advocates the 65 mph speed limit increase which he authored, as well as increased mass transportation for the area of the state.
In 2002, Gregg said he would seek the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator. But he dropped out of the race on filing day and endorsed Jim Treffinger, the Essex County Executive and the front runner. Treffinger himself dropped out less than a week later after FBI agents raided his office as part of a big time scandal that later sent Treffinger to jail.
Gregg served in the United States Marine Corps from 1972–1975, achieving the rank of First Lieutenant.
Gregg graduated with a B.A. in 1972 from Monmouth College in Psychology. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, and currently resides in Long Valley in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
