Trenton NJ, The Governors State of the State message was just another brew of New Jersey Stuck on Stupid Economics . The governor once again continued to promote his vision of a “fairer and stronger” economy, with the answer to everything being to raise taxes . Our question is once again fairer for who?,strong for who? He of course failed to address the “pension black hole ” , and reigning in the idiotic spending and regulatory over reach in the state, leading to the current affordability crisis.
The Murphy agenda seems to be drive all the business out of the state , and replace residents will illegals and criminals .
The massive numbers of Garden Stater’s fleeing the state or looking to flee the state in the next 5 years taking their assets and spending power with them guaranteeing to make matters far worse . Nothing said in the state of the state would make anyone change their mind . Its just the same old same old from the state house .Begging the question; will the state survive two more years of Phil Murphy and his Stuck on Stupid Economics.

Cresskill NJ, Assemblyman Auth’s Response to Governor Murphy’s State of the State Address :
I am extremely disappointed with Governor Murphy’s lack of a plan for the future of New Jersey. While the State is choking on excessive regulation, unparalleled taxes, and profligate spending; Governor Murphy has decided to double down.
In his speech he listed programs on ad infinitum without a plan to pay for his utopian dream. Eventually, we all know who will bare the brunt of that future bill.
Instead of finger pointing at the President and our former Governor, our new Governor, needs to remember that many of the successes that he took credit for today were the direct result of the past administration. If he truly wants to help the citizenry of our State, he needs to re-think his agenda and work closely with legislators who want to emphasize property tax relief and a reduction in extravagant spending. It’s time to give the taxpayers an opportunity to catch their collective breath.
