Trenton, NJ – Americans for Prosperity – NJ (AFP-NJ) today issued a statement praising Governor Phil Murphy and the Comptroller for the release of an audit on the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s GrowNJ Program.
AFP-NJ State Director Erica Jedynak said of the audit:
“Make no mistake. The EDA’s ‘tax breaks’ for certain companies are corporate welfare, which drains the state budget and skews the tax code. As we have said many times before, the government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers and this report proves just that. The findings highlight corporate cronyism at its worst. This issue unites people across the political spectrum.”
AFP-NJ State Director Erica Jedynak said of Governor Murphy:
“At Americans for Prosperity, we work with anyone to do good and no one to do harm. We thank Governor Phil Murphy for doing the right thing by ordering the audit of this EDA program, as a major step toward reducing cronyism. We look forward to continuing to work with the administration on policy solutions and rallying citizen-activists across the state to transform New Jersey for the better.”
