NEW JERSEY — As businesses continue to struggle and many find it hard to make ends meet, Gov. Phil Murphy is set to sign a massive, $14 billion corporate tax-break bill into law that's supposed to give New Jersey a big boost amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The more than 100-page New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020 — introduced last Wednesday — received criticism for its limited public testimony. But Murphy defended the proposal in Monday's coronavirus news conference, saying the bill would update economic-development incentive programs that expired more than a year ago.
