Overview
- At her 100‑day mark, Gov. Mikie Sherrill highlighted property tax relief, more homebuilding, down‑payment aid for first‑time buyers, and a new pilot to speed building permits.
- She pointed to steps meant to curb energy costs, including an executive order freezing rate hikes, a move to end a 50‑year nuclear moratorium, and approvals for six solar and battery projects.
- Republican lawmakers and several residents challenged her record, citing higher local property tax bills, school districts losing aid, and data that show many people leaving the state.
- Addressing World Cup travel to MetLife Stadium, she opposed NJ Transit's proposed $150 charge for ticketholders and said a tourism fee would include rebates for New Jersey residents.
- Observers in Trenton say it is too soon to judge her performance, and they view the coming budget vote as the first clear read on whether her affordability plan delivers relief.
