NJBIA and the New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce will host a virtual press conference on Tuesday, Sept. 8 to discuss Gov.  Phil Murphy’s revised FY2021 budget.

The live event will start at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Members of the New Jersey Business Coalition, which includes more than 100 leading business and nonprofit groups throughout the state, will also join the conference.

“With the call for a billion dollars in new taxes during a pandemic and $4 billion in borrowing, the governor’s proposed budget has a long way to go before meeting fiscal responsibility,” NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka and New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Bracken said in a joint statement.

“We look forward to presenting the facts regarding New Jersey’s fiscal state and how this budget can – and must – be improved for the sake of New Jersey’s economy before it is finalized.”

An OpEd by Bracken and Siekerka on the proposed budget can be found in Friday’s NJ Spotlight here.
