“Not always you realize where great inspiration comes from until moments like these hit you. Time seems to be the basis for everything from the moment we are born into this world and take our first breath, til the moment we say our goodbyes and take our last. And personally something I never really took note of until my father told me always keep time on me. Did I realize what that meant? A deep statement, but simple to its meaning. He meant always wear a watch so that I’ll always know what time it is…

Trenton NJ, Senator Steven Oroho Slams Governor Murphy’s Message to Businesses .

“You can’t raise business taxes by $1 billion and then lament months later how New Jersey’s tax policy has failed to draw start-ups to the state,” said Oroho. “While I hope this new initiative will prove successful, it’s likely that the mixed messages sent by Governor Murphy to the business community will continue to depress the state’s economic growth.”

Murphy’s benefits deal with NJEA and Other Public Unions – A snow job in September

40694543 1499506423526607 7997370607144534016 n1 1

by Organization For Economic Growth

Trenton NJ, Gov. Phil Murphy would have us believe he struck a tremendous blow for taxpayers with this new “deal” he negotiated behind closed doors with the NJEA and other public sector union heads
The deal is no bargain for taxpayers. Although there is more evaluation that needs to be done, it is clear from what we know that the alleged savings of $500 million over two years represents a tiny drop in the bucket of the $3.4 billion that state taxpayers spend for employee health care in a year.

The reported savings by the administration and the NJEA by moving retirees from traditional Medicare supplements to Medicare advantage, is supposed to save school districts $162 million next year and $110 million in 2020. That’s virtually nothing.
