NEW: We’ve received 1,394 new positive #COVID19 test results, bringing our statewide total to 152,719. The daily positivity rate for tests from May 18th is 14 percent. https://t.co/ZY74VXzA3W — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

We're approaching a fiscal cliff. We have two choices: 1️⃣Toss our state into the abyss OR 2️⃣Take measures that will allow us to slowly back away from the edge, and keep our feet on solid ground I know the outcome I prefer. I hope the Legislature and Washington will join us. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

I thank @SpeakerCoughlin for his leadership in posting for a vote legislation that would allow us, as a state, to take advantage of record-low interest rates to get the funding we will need to preserve and protect our vital economic growth and social programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

We are NOT ASKING Washington for a bailout. We ARE ASKING for aid to pay our police, fire, and EMS first responders. To keep our public health workers on the job for our recovery. To ensure our kids have the educators they will need come fall. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

We NEED Washington to step up with significant direct fiscal assistance for states. Every day, this becomes a more and more bipartisan endeavor. But, there are just as many minds that remain closed and intractable. One of those closed-minds controls the Senate agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

As we work toward our new September 30th FY2021 state budget deadline, we face an enormous challenge in balancing our wants and needs. Revenue losses we can already project are drastic. We need a series of deliberate and responsible measures in place. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

Today we’re forced to begin making some hard decisions. We’re doing our best to preserve our most-critical investments where we can. We’re proposing a $10 million investment for @NJDeptofHealth for our long-term care facilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

I asked the Legislature to authorize state borrowing to ensure we can fund critical government operations. But, we still do not have this authority and therefore we cannot rely on these funds. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

Since March, I’ve made clear that we desperately need federal financial assistance to bridge this fiscal gap. We have not received that. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

I’ve been clear since March that we are facing an unprecedented public health crisis that would soon be followed by a similarly unprecedented fiscal crisis. The hard choices I predicted are now at our doorstep. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

LOOK: We still lead in some indicators in which we would rather not. That is why we will continue down this road RESPONSIBLY and DELIBERATELY. https://t.co/5u7SjskpBS — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy

LOOK: The key indicators we need to see fall – hospitalizations, numbers of patients in ICU, ventilators in use – have all fallen DRAMATICALLY. Each day brings with it more signs that we’re moving closer to being able to enter Phase 2 of our restart. https://t.co/LnbVw2ka0d — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, after a bad bicycle accident, Rowdy Meys, of Stockton, was helped by @NJSP Troopers. This year, Rowdy used the money he received on his 11th birthday to buy lunch for all the Troopers at nearby Kingwood Barracks – and was thanked personally by Colonel Pat Callahan. https://t.co/c200b7NteM — PolitiTweet.org

Colin and Grace Volpe are both freshmen at Montville Township High School. With their cousins, they formed the “Cousin Crew,” and began raising money to purchase tablets for hospitals and long-term care facilities so patients & residents can see their loved ones across a screen. https://t.co/GTTxMazaqq — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: @NewJerseyDEP has launched the #MaskUpNJ campaign to encourage more New Jerseyans to wear face coverings at New Jersey parks and beaches. Be a model for others. Take part. If you think you look silly wearing a face covering – imagine how silly you’d look in a hospital gown. https://t.co/pdFV0GWewE — PolitiTweet.org
