New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who tested positive for COVID-19 this week, joined the latest edition of Ask Governor Murphy via Zoom.

The Governor addressed his health, his thoughts on schools segregation in New Jersey as a lawsuit has been filed to better integrate schools and a protest rally was held this week in Trenton to highlight the concerns.

Governor Murphy also spoke on many other topics including a proposed gas tax rebate, whether state workers should have a remote work option and what the state is doing about bringing down property taxes.
