Governor Murphy's Economic Priorities

Governor Phil Murphy emphasized his commitment to economic security for New Jersey residents in his final State of the State address. He highlighted achievements such as property tax relief, substantial education funding, and the increase of the minimum wage throughout his tenure. Murphy reported over $14 billion allocated to property tax relief through the Anchor Program and other initiatives, although he acknowledged that property taxes remain a significant challenge for many families. Moving forward, he aims to prioritize economic opportunity by pushing reforms in affordable housing, education, and public safety.
