Trenton NJ, New Jersey Business and Industry Association calls Governor Murphy’s 2021 Budget with $1.4 Billion Spending Increase Is Irresponsible:
“This budget simply does not reflect the stark reality of our times. Instead of keeping expenses low for our taxpayers, Governor Murphy is raising taxes to make New Jersey businesses less competitive. Instead of holding the line on spending, Governor Murphy has proposed spending $1.4 billion or 3.6% more than the prior year and $5.4 billion or 15.6% more than the budget three years ago before he took office.
