New Jersey Governor Spends $13,000

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy spent nearly $13,000 of taxpayer money for his wife to have an office nearby.

The purpose of the taxpayer fund project was to turn a conference room down the hall from the governor’s office into a private office for the first lady, New Jersey Advance Media reported. The governor and first lady have spent $27,000 of taxpayer money refurbishing their respective work spaces since taking office in January.

The governor defended spending taxpayer money on a door Thursday.

“She has a prominent seat at the table for policy discussions,” Murphy wrote in an email forwarded to reporters Thursday. “She has certainly become a driving force on the issues that matter most to her — particularly on environmental issues and our plans for transitioning to a clean-energy economy, an area where she has a wealth of valuable insight.”

Isn't that about what Barrie Tilghman spent on the mayor's office? And where did the good Persian rug go when she left?

Damn! I refurbished an entire 4 office, 1 conference room, 2 bath office with reception area for less than that.
When it OPM (other peoples money), bureaucrats don't give a rat's ass what they spend because it doesn't come out of their pockets'.

We don't pay for it. He owns the course. The fuel is covered by the 35 million he paid in taxes. Did you pay 35 million? Crickets! What does OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP have to do with this? New Jersey wanted a democrat and they got one. Ha. #MAGA

President Donald J. Trump gets more work done for you in the few hours of sleep he grabs 4:50, while you get nothing done. Put my money on him before you, when it comes to work.

President Donald J. Trump, I still love hearing that.

Thankful each day the nasty one that ran against President Donald J. Trump lost. Can't think of the name, but remember it was a great morning seeing that drunk defeated, beat, made a fool of and pushed off the stage having a fruit get up and say it had left the building without thanking supporters. Goes to show you supporters mean nothing.

I am curios as to her salary.
Maxine Waters' daughter is her 'advisor' and pulls down $168,000.00 per year. Just keeping it in the family.
