I love it! The voters have spoken. Here we see how democracy is working. This is exactly what the voters of New Jersey desired. Governor Murphy was overwhelmingly elected. He has a mandate to carry out. I wish all politicians would keep their promises like Mr. Murphy, Republicans and Democrats. Now they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Enjoy!
We have to accept the fact that the social / financial situation for Torah Jews in places such as Lakewood has changed drastically over the years.
Policies / politicians who are “good for [whoever]” are not necessarily the best candidates for the middle-class of Torah Jews who work hard and struggle to make tuition, mortgage, and real estate tax payments, even in a two-worker household.
Murphy was endorsed in the recent NJ governor’s race. Murphy ran on the platform of free public college tuition for NJ residents, free schooling for all children over 3 years old, an increase in entitlements, etc. Who pays for that? The family living from paycheck to paycheck.
More new taxes on the way for already-overburdened New Jersey taxpayers, courtesy of Governor Murphy.
But don’t forget: Murphy was was enthusiastically endorsed. I wonder why?

For the record: Murphy easily won in Lakewood, Highland Park, and Teaneck. Get the message?
