Governor Murphy has warned that without assistance from the Federal Government, New Jersey will suffer unheard of layoffs of state, county, municipal and education workers.

Although there are no plans in place for these types of layoffs, this was not an idle threat. Income tax, sales tax, fees, and other revenues have plummeted, while the demand for services and cost of addressing the virus, have skyrocketed.

Senator Menendez (D-NJ) and Senator Cassidy (R-LA) are sponsoring the State and Municipal Aid for Recovery and Transition (SMART) Fund, a bill for a $500 billion fund for state and local governments. STATES, COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES need this bill! The bill is supported by both Republican and Democratic governors all over the country.

Take two minutes right now to send an email to your Member of Congress and tell them to sponsor and support this bill!
