Governor Phil Murphy is still vacationing in Italy, but the incumbent Democrat – citing COVID-19 – has banned his cabinet members and certain senior executive branch officials from out-of-state business travel in an apparent act of gross hypocrisy.
The Murphy Administration internal directive was first reported SaveJersey.com’s own Matt Rooney:
–
As Phil Murphy vacations with his family in Italy, I have it from a very reliable Trenton source that His Most Royal Majesty has BANNED his own cabinet from out-of-state business travel.
That's life working for New Jersey's biggest hypocrite!#Knucklehead
