TRENTON, N.J. – Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 215 on inauguration eve, renewing his own emergency powers for a historic 11th time.
Murphy’s Public Health Emergency was originally declared back on March 9, 2020. The Emergency Health Powers Act provides that the governor – without the legislature – can renew the declaration and his tyrannical powers that go along with every 30 days.
