Macurdy’s bill, the Property Tax Relief Act, is a comprehensive reform proposal for the State Health Benefits Plan (municipal workers) and the State Educators Health Benefits Plan (public school employees).

“Transportation is a basic function of government. It has implications for all of our lives, from getting home to see your kids after work to being an economic engine of our state and the larger region, Macurdy said. “I hope that this forum highlights the importance of investing in transit networks across New Jersey.

“I believe in government service,” [Macurdy] said. “And, frankly, I was tired of being disappointed in elected officials.

There is also legislation pending, pushed by a Democratic newcomer in the State Assembly, Andrew Macurdy, to shift the state toward a multiyear approach to budget planning. “Businesses do this,” Mr. Macurdy said. “Other states do this. The idea is just to forecast down the line. What effect are the decisions you’re making today going to have in the future?”
