N.J. Republicans and Democrats argue about spending, quality of life after Gov. Phil Murphy’s State of the State address

Gov. Phil Murphy’s proposed spending includes continued property tax relief and full funding for K–12 education. Concerns about federal funding remain.

Gov. Phil Murphy's initial comments came up over the weekend while he was speaking at a progressive forum about how his administration could push back against Trump.

A new paid parental leave policy will go into effect for tens of thousands of state workers, and Murphy called for reformed zoning laws to make it easier to build housing.
