In the absence of a national mask strategy, I'm signing an EO today requiring face coverings in public outdoor spaces when social distancing isn’t possible, so we can continue on the road back from this pandemic. #MaskUpNJ #JerseyStrong — PolitiTweet.org

This is a major step backward that could unfairly limit access to contraception for up to 126,000 women across America. No one deserves to lose coverage based on their employer’s personal beliefs. Despite today’s decision, we’re not done fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

☑️Spot positivity rate for tests from July 4th was 3.23% ☑️Rate of transmission is now 1.1 We have to have both a lower spot positivity rate and an Rt below 1. This is not either-or. That’s why we’re taking today’s step to require everyone wear masks when outside. https://t.co/s3SC9AZ3Pa — PolitiTweet.org

.@MichaelAronNJTV is a fixture on Press Row in the State House and the longtime Dean of the New Jersey Press Corps. I will miss his smart and fair reporting, and his encyclopedic knowledge of New Jersey politics and government. Michael, I hope you enjoy retirement! https://t.co/nXULXlPo9b — PolitiTweet.org

Hayday Coffee in Atlantic City is owned & operated by Evan Sanchez & Zenith Shah. They both grew up outside AC and returned to be part of AC’s renewal. Through a $50,000 microbusiness loan from @NewJerseyEDA, Hayday is still at work during #COVID19, & preparing for their future. https://t.co/LkmKQFYzfd — PolitiTweet.org

Not wearing a mask isn’t a sign of strength, it’s not a symbol of politics. Not wearing a mask is an act of selfishness, plain and simple. It’s a sign that you think you’re invincible, and damn everyone else.   The time for selfishness ended back in March. — PolitiTweet.org

We remember Vincent Buchinsky Jr., an award-winning artist and educator. For thirty years, he taught & inspired thousands of students in his classrooms in Harrison High School and Sussex County Community College. In retirement, he taught art classes to seniors. May God bless him. https://t.co/YDvH77NHIC — PolitiTweet.org

We remember Joyce Brauchle, who was born in Newark, raised in Caldwell, and called Pine Brook home for the majority of her life. She was a compassionate soul who did whatever she could to brighten someone’s day, and found her inspiration in her faith. May God bless Joyce. https://t.co/rnNWjNHv8J — PolitiTweet.org

We remember Elia Nicolaides, who came to the U.S. in 1959 from Cyprus after falling in love with a visiting American named Mark Nicolaides. For over thirty years, she lived in Warren Township, and worked at First Atlantic Bank in South Plainfield for 14 years. May God bless Elia. https://t.co/fJNjbEdWEz — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, we must report an additional confirmed 53 #COVID19 deaths, pushing our statewide total to 13,476 lives lost. The number of probable deaths has been increased to 1,947. https://t.co/Y7n88pgQNk — PolitiTweet.org

We need to remain vigilant. The point of our work isn’t that we want our hospitals to be ready for more patients. The point of our work is to keep people out of the hospital entirely. Do your part – wear a mask. https://t.co/jFGYpUhIZm — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

YESTERDAY: ☑️935 patients in our hospitals ☑️175 patients in either critical or intensive care ☑️142 ventilators in use Our health care system remains strong and resilient. https://t.co/keuwU5Nij2 — PolitiTweet.org

Now is not the time for politics. The Senate has had this bill for three months. It’s long past time to get the bill to my desk. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

Law enforcement. Public education. Public health workers. Property tax relief for our middle class and our seniors. Tuition assistance for our next generation. All of it, and more, on the chopping block, and likely gone if bonding authority is not passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

We cannot simply cut our way out of the budgetary hole we will fall into. I’ve already offered painful cuts and negotiated hundreds of millions of dollars in savings with our labor partners. This is a multi-billion-dollar hole – the level of cuts would set our state well back. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

If bonding authority is not passed, funding for: ☑️Our children’s education ☑️Critical support programs that lift up countless families ☑️Essential programs that our underserved communities need ☑️So much more Will be left UNFUNDED OR UNDERFUNDED in the next budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

It is well past time to secure the funding that is threatening our ability to have in place the programs and safeguards our residents, and our communities, desperately need to recover from this emergency and get back to work. It’s time to post this bill for a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

I reiterate need to secure the funding we will need to protect against an imminent fiscal meltdown by allowing us to go to the bond markets for an emergency infusion of cash to keep our state afloat. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

We do not want anyone camping out overnight at a @NJ_MVC agency or facility. Stay home and stay safe. See if you can conduct business online. Wait a few more days. But, don’t camp out. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

Expiration dates for the following were automatically extended at the beginning of #COVID19: ☑️Driver’s licenses ☑️Permits ☑️Non-driver IDs ☑️Commercial registrations ☑️Inspections ☑️Temporary tags I encourage you to take advantage of this extended time to lessen the crowding. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

Before you make the trip to a @NJ_MVC agency, visit https://t.co/SQCpTu7xWb. If your transaction can be completed through MVC’s online services – use it. Skip the line, skip the trip. https://t.co/qC2FsJo3UF — PolitiTweet.org

.@NJ_MVC will remain open on Mondays throughout July – a reversal from prior plans. Agencies will be closed this Saturday, but beginning on Monday, will be open six days a week. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

To ensure that @NJ_MVC does not go understaffed, I am exempting MVC personnel from any work furloughs. We need every hand to remain on deck, every day, serving the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

You’re not happy, and neither am I. @NJ_MVC Chief Administrator Sue Fulton recognizes this, too, and is committed to meeting the needs of our residents and motorists. We’re going to work harder, and work better, to deliver a better experience. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

I completely understand the frustration felt by every customer forced to wait on long lines yesterday at @NJ_MVC as we reopen and deal with the months and months of backlog due to #COVID19. What many experienced was not up to their expectations, or ours, and we will do better. — PolitiTweet.org
