And bill, i hear that speech that the governor talked about, he talked about daca, poked fun at president over haiti, no mention of Education Funding, no mention of opiniontion or engine pension or new Jersey Transit, is he focused on 2020. He talked about his budget speech he is giving in a few weeks. I am sure hell detail those specifics. But i think he gave the speech that people top hear with the nut don ton a don as president.

Bill is murphy desperate for National Stage, he is so unknown, most voters, they can tell you he is the guy that wants to legalize pot. I dont think it was about National Stage today, he set an optimistic toni, thi tone. This is the inrathe the inaugu, he set a hopeful, general tone, it is contrast to about what were seeing out of president. Bill why is he contrasting with president , he is governor. He is testing water for 2020 as all new democratic governors are going to do, the governor across the river as well, i wish the governor well. But ironic he said he would work with republicans then went to attack a republican president and republican congress. Bill what about the inclusiveness, you talk about 20,000 daca rece recipient. What about 800,000 people who live in new jersey who cant afford to live here. Governor spoke about people which move to new jersey, they will be happy with his decision high makes, he will be a great governor for all 9 million. How are they going to afford to move here.

Reporter governor murphy took over new jersey, Governor Cuomo giving his 8 budget address here in new york, state faces a deficit of over 4 billion dollars, an elect year in albany,s challenge, they dont want to raise taxes. This year is going to be challenging, my friends, in many ways this is going to be most challenged budget that we had to do. Reporter Governor Cuomo was critical of republican bill to overhaul taxes, he is considering restructuring the state tax code to make up for projected fallout. Also note, new york is seriously considering Recreational Marijuana. Legalizing it governor will create a study for that, see if it feasible here in new york. And when it comes to raising money for cash strapped mta, it appears congestion pricing may be on its way, governor to release a full report on whether smart to charge drivers for entering manhattan, Central Business district of manhattan during peak. , an period, and f surcharge for uber and lyft. Bill almost like he is pushing it down the road. The issues we need studies on them, there is still a lot to be studied. Federal tax overhaul is new, and happening now. That is being studied. Likely it take time to figure out. And congestion pricing this can has been kicked so far down the road it is in new jersey now, no one wants to raise taxes and charge drivers, but they flied the revenue, nobody wants to do it during elect year. Bill okay john thank you. Bringing back our panel. Phil, jannette and bill. With me. Janet. He mentioned daca. Im not sure what it has to to with state budget, but he is desperate to not raise taxes, he says, we dont raise them too much, that was a winning issue in new jersey. Phil murphy promised to raise taxes and got elected. Governor cuomo sounded more like a candidate for president. And congestion pricing is a horrible idea, that is a terrible tax hike. I didnt hear how about we cut spending there have to be areas to cut. Bill fair criticism, that is conversation we talk about with health care, you are pa payingr premiums up there, we find a way to meet that, why not address it. With a budget you have to find new revenues and bring revenues up, you have to find everywhere you can to cut taxes. Congestion pricing, if i am a new yorker, i may like it it may fall on people from new jersey and other states coming in. I dont know you can do congestion pricing until you fix the transit system. That is the problem this a solution without a solution. Unless you work at a bi state level. A congestion prices hurts new jersey, it hurts new jersey were paying for it and we dont have any other options, weve been talking about new Jersey Transit, they are not ready. Bill not that much better. No. That have home less sleeping under the benches. One thing we hear, we hear focus on us paying more but we dont hear about Service Getting better.

All right, bringing back our panel, our guest, new Jersey Transit on minds of everyone. Whether you take it regularly or wont in a while. You know the transit trouble have plagued the state for a long time. Well see if new governor will do something, i want to introduce former chief complains officer todd baretta, he was there and fired after less than 6 months on the job for what he said was pointing out what was wrong with new Jersey Transit, he filed a whistleblower complain with department of labor, that could head to a federal court, todd welcome back to chasing news. Thank you, bill. Bill you filed that complaint, what is your hope to expose with new Jersey Transit by filing the whistleblower. First, i want to get out my message, let everyone know what really happened. New jerseyng with engine noj transit, i am i think we have a new governor today, timing to get this in front of them as he took office. As new administration went in provide them with an opportunity to really see what is wrong with new Jersey Transit. You said get your story out, new Jersey Transit gave us a Statement Last week, they dispute every thing you said. They are saying they fired you for cause. It was baseless, they defense file a by every stretch of the imagine nation a law case book, example of a slap suit, a lawsuit against public participation, they tried to silence me, they didnt want me testifying, they didnt want me saying what really happened or exposing the problem that i brought to the executive director. Bill give me an example. In their statement, anyone can read statement, on our facebook page. But they talk about positive train control. Not saying this is the braking system that could have prevented fatality during the fatality of hoboken. Until the point that i testified in owgb august they never acknowledged they were behind on it you know, my testimony came to prove, and others having since expected and reviewed the frarc report, there is no chance at all they could be on time. They had so many years and mornings, they are 6 done, they would have less than 12 months to do remaining 90 plus of percent of the work. Bill a huge issue, for your constituents, you know, what happens . It is not a har hart partisn issue. I think that governor murphy said this is say b priority, ad committed weekend, to travel on train, and new Jersey Transit to find out what is wrong. I think he will be dedicated and focused. Bill jannette, he is silence in his speech about new Jersey Transit, he does a photo op, and he has done, coming in asking hacks for their resignation, what confidence do have you in. Well see with the think about speech in february he details his spending priority, how much of a priority new Jersey Transit circumstanc cir is. Bill is it really about money, you hear democratic leader saying about budgeting and john wisniewski, it funding or priorities. It will be a twofold approach, you need a Top Executive at top of State Government, we have that in phil murphy, he dedicated this weekend to focusing on it. I think. People like todd, he stepped up, he had courage to shine light on this, working ground up from position you were in. We need to make it a safe system to ride, make it reliable, and make the trainses on time, and people that have a ticketed seat can have a seat. The car is not going to break down. After we do those, well make it efficient. Safe, reliable and efficient. That is a system we deserve. Bill acted is needed. Thank you for being here. Thank you, bill. Bill we have a lot more chasing news coming up for you, stay tuned. Bill welcome back to chasing news, im bill spadea, as you can see and hear celebration of new governor is underway at Metlife Stadium, there are a lot of questions as 56 governor gets ready to start day one on wednesday morning.

But we did not hear about new jersey affordability, Education Funding taxes, all the things that matter to average working and middle class new jerseyians, is governor murphy starting the year in a campaign for president in 2020 . Or is he going to roll up his sleeves and get to work to fix new Jersey Transit and make new jersey more affordable again. Those questions remain, well see.
