NJ GovMurphy and fellow Democratic leaders in the Legislature announced a deal Wednesday on a sweeping property tax rebate plan that had been a sticking point amid negotiations over the state’s more than $50 billion budget.
“This agreement says we care about our seniors and making New Jersey affordable for all,” Murphy said.
Republicans criticized the plan, which the Democrats are calling “StayNJ,” calling it an election year gimmick aimed at wooing seniors. Coughlin had made it clear he wanted to include senior property tax relief in this year’s budget negotiations. Murphy described the agreement as the result of the men trying to find a “fiscally responsible” solution.
That has sometimes made it difficult for earlier administrations to fully fund all promises made by governors and lawmakers.
