Governor Murphy delivered his fifth annual budget address on Tuesday, March 8th to New Jersey legislators.

Over the past four years, Governor Murphy has cut taxes for the middle-class and working families 14 times.  This budget proposal resulted in the upgrading of New Jersey’s credit rating for the first time since 2005.
