AFP Releases Statement Following Governor Phil Murphy's Final State of the State

TRENTON, NJ - Today, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) released the following statement following Governor Phil Murphy's final State of the State address.

AFP North East Region Director Ross Connolly said: 

"After eight years under Governor Murphy, New Jersey is one of the most expensive states for families and businesses. This is causing New Jerseyans to move to low-tax states that offer more opportunities and less regulation.

"The Governor's speech offered a retrospective view on his time in office, often stating that the state's future has never been brighter, but we disagree. In order to get New Jersey back on track, we urge lawmakers and the new administration to prioritize economic freedom and fiscal responsibility that will benefit all of the Garden State."
