Star-Ledger letters to the editor

Well, tax-and-spend Phil Murphy, our wonderful governor, is at it again. In the record state budget, he’s taxing businesses that make over $10 million in profits annually an extra 2.5%, so the state can to spend it on such wasteful things as helping ex-convicts re-enter society, using tennis to teach life lessons and wonderful arts programs.

Also, in 2026, all our legislators will get a 67% salary increase, their first since 2002. That 67% will help them keep up with President Joe Biden’s inflation.
