First they lobby to gut OPRA. Now they want the Comptroller investigated Local governments are on an offensive against transparency and accountability! The Leg should drop the OPRA bill & say NO to this! Thank you @NJComptroller for being our watchdog.
This is about tax fairness when it comes to funding essential services for all New Jerseyans, including NJ Transit. Big business needs to pay their fair share, not find other funding sources that could make things even worse for NJ families.

Every single Republican voted against providing the IRS with resources to go after wealthy tax cheats and improve taxpayer services. They lied about "86,000 new IRS agents" coming to bust down working families' doors. Here's what really happened:
Hands off @NJComptroller!

You really can’t make this up. Yesterday, the big business lobby held a press event and suggested raising the sales tax to fund NJ Transit. Republicans and progressives alike pushed back. Now they’re retracting their proposal, saying the $ should come from …somewhere else. 🤷🏻♂️

Groundwork laid by @ggcnj @NJWFP @NJ_ISJ @NJPolicy @NJCitizenAction @ORNJ_Official & more, charges re Menendez w clear demo of power of the line to New Jerseyans who don't normally pay attention, the depth of the swamp gave perfect platform to call for big change #FairBallots‼️
True, the stars aligned for us: "Kim has thrown a grenade into the gears of NJ’s political machine. But it probably couldn’t have happened if Menendez hadn’t pulled the pin." But it also wouldn't have happened without the grassroots, esp. @fairballotnj washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
@LizzieKFoley @ggcnj and all the grassroots who rose up to defend our democracy in 2016 and never stopped know how grateful @NJCitizenAction was to have new leadership and so much growth in the movement for democracy snd social justice. Together!
Congrats and thanks for the leadership @NJWFP!!! Lots more to do to defend and revitalize our democracy but this is huge!
It’s a new day in the history of NJ politics. And we did it together! This is only the beginning, and now the sky's the limit. #LineAbolished
