WATCH: Independent hearing to examine Murphy administration’s handling of nursing, veterans homes during pandemic

TRENTON, N.J. – Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce and Assemblyman Christopher DePhillips joined a GOP panel Friday to investigate Gov. Phil Murphy’s Covid response at nursing homes which lead to nearly 8,000 deaths.

Other Republican lawmakers participating in the probe were Sens. Joe Pennacchio, Kristin Corrado, Declan O’Scanlon, Michael Testa, and Steven Oroho.

It is the first in a series of independent hearings to understand the policy and management failures of the Murphy administration that led to preventable deaths, destroyed businesses and jobs, and left millions of New Jerseyans without access to important services and support.
