River Vale NJ, Assemblywomen Holly Schepisi lays out all the Phil Murphy tax increases :
 
“Governor Murphy promised to raise your taxes and boy has he kept that promise. Rather than cut spending, rather than eliminate government waste, he has increased spending by BILLIONS each year. Our tolls just went up by over 36% on the Turnpike and 27% on the Garden State Parkway. Our gas tax increases by another 9 cents on October 1. A new multi-billion dollar borrowing plan created a new “Statewide Property Tax” and yet these tax increases aren’t enough. Now we have the following coming soon to NJ courtesy of the tax and spend Democrats. Ask yourself one question, has your life in NJ become ANY easier over the past several years as a result of all of the new taxes and increased BILLIONS in spending? If no, where is this money actually going?”
