In his #SOTSNJ address, @GovMurphy said he will defend NJ values from attacks by the incoming administration, but did not address the urgent need to fight for our immigrant communities.
We need more than words: #NJforALL NOW.

It's time to.....(crowd in suspense)
...increase the state tax enforcement workforce!!
(crowd loses its mind)
NJ's auditor workforce is still far below its peak despite more taxpayers and more complex returns.
Each auditor generates on average $2.3M in revenue.

As we prepare for the uncertainty of a new federal administration, New Jersey must act now to secure its financial future. A new @NJPolicy report from @ptrchn1 outlines sustainable ways to raise revenue while advancing tax fairness. njpp.org/publications/report…

🚨 New Report 🚨
Reforming New Jersey’s tax system in targeted ways would reduce income inequality and provide revenues needed for public investments to make the state more affordable.

Targeted taxation on the top 1% of individuals, homes, and corporations would raise nearly $4 billion in revenue for critical programs.
“New Jersey has to start raising more revenue, and it’s important to raise revenue in a fair way," said @ptrchn1.

Opposing congestion pricing is anti-environment and anti-public health. It's that simple.

As New Jersey considers redesigning its ballots, the new design mustn't indicate incumbency or party endorsements to hint that any candidate is special or above others.
"We don’t want to indicate that kind of information,” said @ptrchn1.

The SEEF was intended to start low and increase to meet the needs of communities harmed by the war on drugs — and leaders are leaving money on the table.
"New Jersey is actually one of the lowest taxed cannabis industries in the country," said @MarleinaU.

The Social Equity Excise Fee can't fully realize its goal of helping communities unless it's increased.
“This money goes back to communities that have been most harmed by the war on drugs...and we have just kept it extraordinarily low," said @MarleinaU.

With the number of New Jerseyans who are uninsured rising significantly for the first time since the start of the pandemic, it is so important for residents to prioritize health coverage and care as they consider what future policies they want to see enacted 🗳️
It's almost Election Day, and voters want to know: Where do the candidates stand on health care issues?
“Access and keeping affordable coverage — that’s what I hope candidates would be talking about more,” said NJPP Senior Policy Analyst @bholom11.

This bill blurs the lines between violent and nonviolent crime, allowing prosecuters to charge minors as adults for an offense in which no one is physically harmed. This is a dangerous precendent and not the way to keep our communities safe.
A bill increasing penalties for home invasions and residential burglaries was signed into law today by @GovMurphy. The legislation, S3006/A4299, was sponsored by Assemblymen Sterley Stanley, @RKarabinchak, and Alexander “Avi” Schnall. assemblydems.com/CivicAlerts…

💥POWERFUL piece by @GMJohnsonNJ in @starledger on the Immigrant Trust Act💥
