I guess Rep Tom MacArthur (R-NJ) announcing the day before the election that he flipped his position 180 degrees in less than 24 hours, and now will vote "YES" on the tax bill that will punish NJ was not a good political strategy for GOP candidates.

I think Phil Murphy is going to disappoint a lot of Democrats in this state. He's an avowed leftist, but he's also a Wall Street guy who recognizes that New Jersey is now in a position where leftist politics is clashing with fiscal (and physical) reality.

Remember -- this is a state where the legislature had to draft a mid-year budget adjustment in 2015 when one taxpayer (hedge fund billionaire David Tepper) had moved to Florida because of the ridiculous tax burden in New Jersey. It was estimated that he paid something like $100 million in state income taxes the prior year.

With total control of the state’s government New Jersey is now East California and we will see the same type of insane leftist policies that have destroyed West California. WHITE FLIGHT which will lead to higher taxes a sanctuary state and ultimately low economic growth.
