The word "tax" wasn't uttered except when it came time for Gov. Phil Murphy to decry New Jersey's "property tax crisis." Other than that, it didn't come up.Instead, Murphy, in his very first town-hall meeting as governor, talked about fully funding New Jersey's schools, improving public transportation, boosting the middle class and making community college free. His audience was a captive one. They applauded and cheered at his vision for the state's future."Music to my ears," one man told the Democratic governor at one point of the hour-long event.It was Murphy's first day on the road. On Tuesday, he unveiled his $37.4 billion state budget proposal.Wednesday marked the start of the pitch.
