Democratic and Republican lawmakers in New Jersey are taking credit after Gov. Phil Murphy signed an executive order Wednesday that will allow parks and golf courses to reopen in time for Saturday morning tee times
“I don’t know how to say this delicately but, with the exception of the mental health case that many of you have [made], your interventions to me did not matter one little bit,” Murphy said during his daily press briefing in Trenton. “With all due respect to all the pressure that’s been out there, we couldn’t frankly care.”
Republican leaders in the Senate issued a joint statement a little more than a half-hour into Murphy’s press briefing, urging him “to trust the tens of thousands of small businesses that have plans in place and are ready to reopen safely.” “If we don't like what we see, I reserve the right to reverse the executive order I signed today,” he said.released a week ago showed a majority of residents supported the directive. The original order came as New Jersey faced a mounting number of deaths and hospitalizations linked to Covid-19. Two weeks after Murphy issued his initial “stay-at-home” order, outdoor recreational areas were increasingly becoming highly trafficked venues for residents looking to blow off steam.
Even so, a declining number of patients are entering the state’s hospitals to receive treatment for Covid-19 symptoms and reports of new cases remain relatively flat. Encouraging signs in the state’s public health data played a role in Murphy’s decision to open the parks, he said Wednesday.
