Democratic gubernatorial front-runner Phil Murphy wants to raise New Jersey’s minimum wage to $15 an hour, but his canvassers are working for $12.50, Assemblyman John Wisniewski said Tuesday, rolling out a new line of attack as the June 6 primary nears.

Wisniewski, a rival candidate for the Democratic nomination, caught the $2.50 discrepancy in Murphy’s campaign reports filed with the state Election Law Enforcement Commission and cut a new web ad accusing Murphy of hypocrisy. He called on Murphy to give his canvassers $45,000 in back pay and a salary hike.

  1. Do as I say, not as I do.
    Democrats sucking up to a guy from Goldman Sachs. Truth stranger than fiction.

  2. Democrats NEVER voluntarily do the right thing on their own.
    They only do what the government makes them do, hence their desire to regulate everything.
    God forbid they do the right thing without forcing others to do likewise.

  3. Another limousine liberal from Goldman Sachs trying to buy th governor job.
    Didn’t we learn our lesson from that disaster corzine?
