File this under “things everyone already knew”: the current governor’s dream was to return the sales tax to 7%. Gov. Murphy has tried to shove that little gem into his proposed budgets. When you’re drunk on spending and the federal COVID relief dollars dry up, they always run back to “old reliable.” Now, the same progressive groups that never missed a chance to promote bringing NJ’s sales tax back to 7% (policy outfits on the left that have publicly endorsed this hike for years) are now parked inside Gov-elect Sherrill’s transition. No surprise that the 7% chatter is back during lame duck. This conversation should be had in the open, not behind closed doors. They pushed the fairy tale that Jack Ciattarelli wanted a 10% sales tax. Total lie. In fact, Republicans introduced a bill to CUT the sales tax to 6%: part of a larger plan to lower taxes across the board. The state’s finances are a mess, and that’s what happens when you spend first and think never. It always catches up. njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/20…















I-80 westbound is closed & detoured in Wharton. A 15-foot by 15-foot hole opened up in the median in the I-80 eastbound work zone. Out of an abundance of caution, NJDOT closed & detoured I-80 westbound at Exit 34B/Route 15 north. We are in the process of evaluating the situation.
