State Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio (R-Hackettstown) told Fox News Digital that Murphy is “missing the message” voters sent on Tuesday with his initial response. “It’s time for the governor to realize that his values might not reflect those of New Jerseyans as widely as he assumes,” DiMaio said. “While Murphy is ready to spend resources on political battles with Trump, it’s hard to see how that aligns with the priorities of struggling families, hardworking taxpayers, and business owners who want more focus on their needs,” he added. Murphy’s administration has previously taken legal action against federal policies perceived as detrimental to New Jersey residents. For instance, in 2021, Murphy led a coalition of governors in sending a letter to President Biden, urging the elimination of the cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions imposed during the Trump administration. The letter described the cap as a form of “double taxation” that disproportionately affects middle-class families in states like New Jersey. Additionally, Murphy has been vocal about his administration’s efforts to counteract federal actions that he believes undermine the state’s progressive policies. In 2018, he stated, “We will stand our ground in the face of every attempt to erode the progress we’ve made and the values we hold dear.” This article originally appeared on American Liberty News.
