We are closing corporate loopholes so we are hardly being heroic to close the combined reporting loophole. I think 28 or 30 other states have done it and a lot of those states will be trying to get Amazon.

My life's a book; I've got a bunch of different chapters.
Listen: I love sports and my family loves sports.
Earned sick leave gives workers a lot more confidence and adds to their participation in the economy.
I'll go to my grave saying a gimmick is not good public policy.
The first day in office I guess is Tuesday, right? God willing, I'll get sworn in and I won't blow that.
I think New Jersey's process is actually a very good one - the good government. The governor presents the budget, you've got one-on-one meetings, you've got leadership meetings, you've got hearings, more importantly, that are transparent and open.
If you're in Alabama, you're selling tax incentives - with all due respect to Alabama - because what else are you going to sell? In New Jersey, you've got location, public education, highly educated workforce, density, diversity, infrastructure.
I think it would be a great honor to get another Super Bowl, but not just limited to that. Other events, sporting or otherwise, I think New Jersey has an enormous opportunity given our location and our natural resources, our passion generally and specifically for sports, I think we're a natural.
I can't give up the allegiances I grew up with, given where I was born and where I grew up, but you won't see me at a Rutgers game rooting for somebody else. Let's put it that way.
Raising the minimum wage does not take from growth, it adds to growth.
Listen, I'm a proud Democrat. My heroes are the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King. And I don't apologize for that and never will.
I think the notion of tax fairness is the reasonable thing to do.
I used to say the wealthiest among us have to pay our fair share, which I still occasionally say. That's not dodging the word 'millionaire.'
When you buy a company that's been on its butt you raise a lot of money, you instantly put new management in place, but that's the end of the glory for three to five years, grinding it out one day after the other.
I think you can find a good, happy balance between being a great research university as Rutgers is and being a high-quality sports program.
Equal pay for equal work isn't, 'Here, I'll give this to you.' It's confidence, it's participation.
We want to say to everyone: New Jersey's a place where gender does not play a role in how much you get paid.
I am a huge believer in organized labor. Period. Full stop.
What is the deepest passion for me and for us is the historic investment in the middle class and in - as I say often because I was that guy growing up - the dreams of those who look up who want to get into the middle class. That I feel the strongest about.
