Gloucestercitynews.net files By Dave Lemery | The Center Square (The Center Square) – New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has sought to portray himself as a fiscally cautious, business-friendly leader since taking office. But following his budget address Tuesday, it was evident that many in the business community were not on board with that portrayal. One proposal that specifically drew ire was Murphy’s plan to tax millionaires. The New Jersey chapter of the National Federation of Independent Business said that such a tax would likely fall on its members, including those who might be millionaires on paper but live on narrow margins to keep their businesses afloat. “The millionaire’s tax will hurt small business owners who retire and sell their business as a retirement nest egg...

With Bellmawr's local election in November, I am supporting Independent Council candidates Bill Groff and Sandy Valdez.
