Call For Transparent Government

John Murphy, candidate for Governor, says that to have property tax reform we need two things: we need a more transparent government in Trenton and we need the governor and the legislature to honor the state Constitution and stop illegal borrowing of billions of dollars.

The key to cutting property taxes is not raising some other tax, it's to cut spending and stop wasting the public's money. Murphy also said he would enact meaningful ethics reform and overhaul the state's conflict of interest law to hold the executive and legislative branches accountable to the people. He would revamp the state's ethics boards to include members of the public, rather than just those appointed by the governor. It is time to elect of governor more interested in serving our interests rather than the interests of campaign contributors to build his political dynasty.

Murphy, who has been testing the campaign water for the past year said that he is ready to help lead the Republican Party back to its once-dominant position in the state. "I am standing in front of you tonight because I am ready to lead the battle to change Trenton. We will win by returning to our core principles of fiscal responsibility, and demonstrating to the people of this state that we have the courage of our conviction to bring real change to New Jersey."
