Since the last time New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was on WNYC’s air, his household suffered a rough setback. So did New Jersey’s political elite.
First Lady Tammy Murphy dropped her bid to become New Jersey’s next U.S. senator. Days later, a judge said Democrats can’t use the “county line” ballot system the state’s powerful party organizations have used for a century to sway elections … and expected would help Tammy Murphy secure an easy primary race win.
Gov. Murphy has long defended the “county line,” but now legislative leaders say they’re open to change. What could that look like?
ALSO: Lawmakers are considering a bill that could gut the state’s public records law. Is Murphy on board? And what’s at stake if lawmakers don’t approve the corporate tax he hopes will save NJ Transit from a $1 billion fiscal cliff?
