Should New Jersey taxpayers contribute $2 million to the NAACP’s national convention?
A pending piece of legislation – which Phil Murphy has until Tuesday to sign – “[a]ppropriates $2 million to CRDA to support costs associated with hosting NAACP National Convention in Atlantic City.“

S4218 in its original form gave $2 million directly to the NAACP; the final version which passed the legislature along mostly party lines uses the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CDRA) as a middle man. Because hey, why not! We’ve got money to burn with the highest property taxes in America at nearly $9,300 annualy per household.
While the NAACP is a purportedly non-partisan organization, the group’s leadership has consistently staked our Leftist positions in recent history.
Governor Murphy previously served as an NAACP board member.
