Holzapfel: Murphy’s Latest Lawsuit Would Drive Gas Prices Even Higher

Senator Jim Holzapfel said a new lawsuit announced by the Murphy administration against several oil companies and their trade association would only increase costs for New Jerseyans who are already struggling with high gas prices and inflation:

“The latest Murphy administration lawsuit would only drive gas prices even higher for New Jersey families struggling with the worst inflation in more than four decades,” said Holzapfel (R-Ocean). “Instead of fighting to increase domestic oil production and lower costs for consumers, Governor Murphy continues to use taxpayer funds to pay for unnecessary lawsuits to advance his expensive progressive agenda.”
