I will do it. I will play point guard for the Philadelphia Seventy Sixers.

In his #SOTSNJ address, @GovMurphy said he will defend NJ values from attacks by the incoming administration, but did not address the urgent need to fight for our immigrant communities.

We need more than words: #NJforALL NOW.

When more turkeys are pardoned than people, the exercise becomes a cruel joke for the many New Jerseyans who are or have been incarcerated, writes the Rev. Amos Caley 👇

Anti-poverty assistance programs should help lift folks out of poverty — put the people processing benefits in poverty themselves.

It's time for county social service agencies to provide adequate pay and staffing so workers don't sacrifice their livelihoods and mental wellness.

[New Jersey Policy Perspective @NJPolicy]

Social service workers who help New Jersey's families receive public benefits should make enough to make ends meet themselves.

"They end up having to rely on the very programs that they're also helping people connect to," said NJPP's @bholom11.

🚨 New Report 🚨

Declining staffing and increasing caseloads hurt social service workers' ability to provide timely support to New Jerseyans who receive public assistance.

It's time to.....(crowd in suspense)

...increase the state tax enforcement workforce!!
(crowd loses its mind)

NJ's auditor workforce is still far below its peak despite more taxpayers and more complex returns.

Each auditor generates on average $2.3M in revenue.

[Nicole Rodriguez @NicoleNJPP]

As we prepare for the uncertainty of a new federal administration, New Jersey must act now to secure its financial future. A new @NJPolicy report from @ptrchn1 outlines sustainable ways to raise revenue while advancing tax fairness. https://t.co/blMTvgKWaS

[New Jersey Policy Perspective @NJPolicy]

🚨 New Report 🚨

Reforming New Jersey’s tax system in targeted ways would reduce income inequality and provide revenues needed for public investments to make the state more affordable.

[New Jersey Policy Perspective @NJPolicy]

Targeted taxation on the top 1% of individuals, homes, and corporations would raise nearly $4 billion in revenue for critical programs.

“New Jersey has to start raising more revenue, and it’s important to raise revenue in a fair way," said @ptrchn1.

Opposing congestion pricing is anti-environment and anti-public health. It's that simple.

[New Jersey Policy Perspective @NJPolicy]

As New Jersey considers redesigning its ballots, the new design mustn't indicate incumbency or party endorsements to hint that any candidate is special or above others.

"We don’t want to indicate that kind of information,” said @ptrchn1.

@philatticus It’s unseasonably warm for hot nog but I also believe hot nog can be enjoyed year-round, without being spiked

[New Jersey Policy Perspective @NJPolicy]

The SEEF was intended to start low and increase to meet the needs of communities harmed by the war on drugs — and leaders are leaving money on the table.

"New Jersey is actually one of the lowest taxed cannabis industries in the country," said @MarleinaU.

[New Jersey Policy Perspective @NJPolicy]

The Social Equity Excise Fee can't fully realize its goal of helping communities unless it's increased.

“This money goes back to communities that have been most harmed by the war on drugs...and we have just kept it extraordinarily low," said @MarleinaU.
