Space opposes Murphy’s budget plan

Statement from Assemblyman Parker Space (R-Sussex) on the Gov. Phil Murphy’s proposed Fiscal Year 2024 budget:

“As I have opposed Murphy’s budgets in the past, this year’s budget proposal is loaded with pork and spending geared to liberal special interest groups and for social engineering. If this year’s final budget proposal is like the previous Murphy budgets, millions of taxpayers’ money will be spent on Planned Parenthood, illegal immigrants, gun control measures, lawsuits against energy companies, and the forced electrification of our homes, businesses, and cars on the altar of so-called ‘green energy.’ While we have unnecessary spending increases, Murphy and the legislative Democrat leadership have no plan to fully fund all of our schools in Sussex, Warren, and Morris counties nor provide high speed broadband to our area nor provide money to landowners whose properties were devalued due to extreme environmental measures such as the Highlands. Their answer to us here is ‘raise your property taxes.’ Murphy’s spending spree will continue, even in the face of an economic downturn which every financial expert is predicting we are heading into. If major cuts and reforms are not made from now until June 30, I will once again oppose the budget.”
