Statement from Governor Murphy on U.S. Supreme Court Unanimously Affirming New Jersey’s Right to Withdraw from the Waterfront Commission
“I must extend a special thanks to all of the attorneys who worked on this effort in the Attorney General’s Office under the leadership of Solicitor General Jeremy Feigenbaum, whose outstanding argument before the Court made this day possible. I am also grateful to the U.S. Department of Justice for arguing in support of New Jersey before the Court as well.
“I also want to thank Senate President Scutari and Assembly Speaker Coughlin for standing firmly with my Administration in this fight, as well as all of the stakeholders in labor and industry alike who supported our efforts. We look forward to working with New York to ensure a swift and orderly dissolution of the Commission in a way that ensures security and uninterrupted business at New Jersey’s ports.”
