Tom Bracken has had enough. 

The well-respected head of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce — an organization that speaks for the state’s business community — said it’s time for Gov. Phil Murphy to start doing more for Bracken’s constituents.

To him, that means no more taxes.

Gov. Phil Murphy campaigned on creating a “stronger and fairer” economy.

Since taking office, the governor and the Legislature have shown an energetic commitment in expediting initiatives for the fairer economy such as mandated paid sick leave, equal pay laws and the upcoming minimum wage increase. The components of the desired fairer economy are in place.

New Jersey is the most densely populated business state in the country, so ensuring that a startup economy is thriving and entrepreneurs feel supported needs to be balanced with supporting the companies that have stayed.

Those were comments made by Tom Bracken, president of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, and Brian Sabina, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s senior vice president of economic transformation.

For the first time since 2012, New Jersey’s flag is planted in Europe to signal the state is open for business.

For several years, the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce has said the state of New Jersey needs an economic master plan — a practical and realistic roadmap to get our state out of its economic rut and return it to economic vitality.

This is why I was extraordinarily pleased to hear Gov. Phil Murphy deliver his Economic Development Strategic Plan in Nutley last week.
