Fresh off of a thumping of the minority party in his final midterm election cycle, Governor Murphy is clearly feeling emboldened. As if running his wife for U.S. Senate wasn’t proof enough, the Democrat told a business organization conference on Tuesday that he supports letting the state’s 2.5% corporate tax surcharge expire.

Something’s coming. Because elections have consequences.
