Part of that's good.

I guess that's a sign that you're getting these data centers and other things moving to the state.

But when it raises the bills for homeowners and businesses, you need something to address that.

What's the plan?

Another big issue, of course, is taxation, the idea of addressing some of the budget issues, potentially raising the sales tax once again, as well as corporate taxation.

Do you think that's something, A, that the governor, no matter who it is, would actually follow through on?

And would there be enough support at the statehouse to see that through?

You represent Jersey City, the second most populous city in the state and really third most populous really in the entire New York metro area.

It's seen phenomenal growth over the past few years in terms of new residents and new businesses.

How do you get more businesses, and not just the big companies, but small and medium-sized businesses to actually set up shop here?

We were missing not asking you about the government shutdown.

We're now basically officially at 35, the longest government shutdown, longest full government shutdown in history.

Where is the discussion right now between Democrats and Republicans in Congress, particularly in the Senate?

Are we any closer to actually getting this resolved?

Are you comfortable, though, with the leadership by the Democrats in Congress in trying to navigate through this crisis?

All right, circling back to the election here in New Jersey, I do have to ask you, we've had four years here of Phil Murphy.

Maybe potentially that legacy continues with Mikey Sherrill.

When you take a look at Murphy's legacy, what do you think he got right?

And more importantly, what do you think he maybe did not take advantage of?

Only about 30 seconds left, but looking ahead to the potential results that we get tonight, the polls have gotten a little bit tighter over the last few weeks.
