Governor Sheila Oliver took the oath of office for another term as the state’s Lieutenant Governor.
In his inaugural address, Governor Murphy highlighted his administration’s first-term accomplishments and outlined goals for the second term, including being a state that is more affordable, especially when it comes to three of the biggest expenses facing residents: health care, higher education, and property taxes.
