Despite his staff’s refusals to say where Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) went, the secret is out. (Fox News)
His constituents are complaining about the state’s crumbling transit system. His own party wants to strip him of gubernatorial powers. The soccer team he owns is living in dire conditions, and one of his sons has been in trouble with the law.
What’s a newly elected governor with no experience in elected office to do? He takes a vacation far, far away.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy raised eyebrows last week as he embarked on a swanky 11-day trip to Italy, where he owns a $7 million home he bought during his 23-year stint at Goldman Sachs.
…
The governor’s office initially declined the reveal where Murphy was going for his holiday, but NJ.com solved the mystery and reported that Italy was the destination. The state’s taxpayers will pick up the tab for protecting the governor while he’s on vacation, with the tab reaching as much as $100,000.
Could’ve probably avoided all this if the Murphy administration just said he went to Italy https://t.co/qmYG5z9bJC

Unfortunately – for Murphy – New Jersey’s problems will be there when he returns.
