Murphy defends spending $500K on Statehouse office furnishings. ‘I’m not walking out with the rugs.’

“This is New Jersey, for Christ’s sake. This is the second-oldest in-use Statehouse in America. And you want this thing to reek of pride. We said, ‘Let’s do all of this in a first-class way,'" Murphy said.
