..."Governor Murphy, Senate President Sweeney and Speaker Coughlin joined me for their first public appearance together calling for $15 an hour minimum wage a little more than a year ago. Today, I'm glad to see they have announced an agreement that will help over a million workers and boost New Jersey's economy," Norcross said.
