Sent a Letter to Gov. Phil Murphy and Muoio
NEW JERSEY GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE HOUSE PO BOX 098 TRENTON, NEW JERSEY 08625-0098 (609) 847-3400 June 9, 2021 The Honorable Phil Murphy Office of the Governor P.O. Box 001 Trenton, NJ 08625 The Honorable Elizabeth Maher Muoio Department of the Treasury P.O. Box 002 Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Murphy and Treasurer Muoio: We cannot fathom what you are trying to hide by refusing your traditional responsibility to provide revenue updates to the Assembly Budget Committee. If it was the decision of our colleagues in the legislature, please do not demur. There are only two possibilities that come to mind: that your administration is woefully unprepared to explain how you plan to spend the newly expected money and the more than $6 billion in federal aid, or your disdain for transparency and the legislative process satiates your hunger for unilateral power. It will not be surprising when, in routine business, the budget is introduced and signed into law before anyone can carefully read it. In this consistent lack of transparency, it is clear you and your party are content. Due to your unprecedented decision, we are submitting the below questions regarding the fiscal year 2022 budget, and ask for a response within twenty-four hours that actually answers the questions. That is ample time considering these questions would have been asked directly. Please recall that Republican districts comprise over three-million state residents. Do not continue to disenfranchise them by ignoring their representatives. Questions: 1. Why were the Assembly Budget Committee hearings, scheduled on Wednesday, June 9, 2021, cancelled? 2. -
