Phil Murphy announced five legislative proposals that would overhaul the state’s ethics rules.
C.J. Griffin, a partner at the law firm Pashman Stein Walder Hayden, who works on government transparency issues, praised another one of Murphy’s proposals that would eliminate the broad exemptions enjoyed by the legislature under the Open Public Records Act.
