Scotch Plains, NJ – The Young Republican Federation of New Jersey (YRFNJ) has announced today that they have submitted their charter to the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) for approval at their next national quarterly meeting. YRFNJ Chairman Joe Sarno expects that the charter will be accepted, stating “Since there was no current YRNF sanctioned Young Republican Organization at the state level, several county YR groups have come together to submit a charter to the YRNF in hopes to return a nationally recognized group to the state.  We expect that our charter will be accepted, and we will work diligently with all Young Republicans in the state to move our party forward, win elections, and bring the message of common-sense conservative principles to our peers.”

Alvarez “No One Ever Said To Me ‘You’re Hired’”

Screenshot of live feed of Alvarez testimony

It’s official – the only thing run worse than Governor Phil Murphy’s soccer team is his administration.

Al Alvarez, who ended up as chief of staff at the Schools Development Authority and was able to stay in his $140,000 job after it was known there was an investigation into an alleged sexual assault is testifying before the Legislative Oversight Committee in Trenton as I type.

When asked directly (and repeatedly) who hired him Alvarez said, “No one ever said to me ‘you’re hired.’”

So, the answer to the question, “who hired Al Alvarez” is still no one knows. The only other place this could possibly happen in New Jersey is Phil Murphy’s soccer team.

Alvarez is still testifying. They just announced a break for about a half hour, but you can watch it live here:

PRESS RELEASE: NJGOP Chairman: Sobering Statistics On New Jersey's Shrinking Economy Keep Stacking Up

Trenton, NJ - New Jersey's year-over-year job growth declined to its lowest point since 2011 according to figures released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. New Jersey's annual job growth is now at less than one percent. 

Last week Governor Murphy proposed growing the size of state government by over a billion dollars in his annual budget address. 

"Sobering statistics on New Jersey's shrinking economy keep stacking up," said NJGOP Chairman Doug Steinhardt. "The state of New Jersey is on the path to insolvency and Governor Murphy’s progressive idealism is sucking the economic life out of it. Job killing programs like mandated wages, Obamacare fines, corporate tax hikes and billion dollar tax increases are taking a devastating toll on New Jersey’s economy, leaving struggling families with no where to turn.”

Steinhardt continued, "At a time when state government should be shrinking, New Jersey Democrats are growing it. Despite the worst job report in 5 years, state government added 2900 more jobs. Just last week, nj.com released the list of the 25 highest paid employees at NJ Transit, all men and all earning over $200,000. Another report detailed how political insiders are using the Schools Development Authority as their personal, patronage pit."

"New Jersey deserves honest solutions to real problems," said Chairman Steinhardt. "Freeze new taxes. Put a 2% cap on State budget growth, just like New Jersey municipalities do. Then, incentivize business to invest and grow here by cutting corporate tax rates, creating private sector jobs, and shaping a path to the middle class that’s attainable and real not fallacious and phony.”
