Kim, the governor and Commissioner Jarvis keep suggesting that everyone else is confused. At what point will they consider that the confusion reflects a failure of their own leadership?
If contracts are not being renewed, as Eric reports hearing, these concerns deserve immediate investigation. People cannot pay their bills with assurances that “nothing changed.” Losing an assignment means losing income, regardless of how officials describe the regulation.
Their response is becoming a bad joke—with independent contractors paying the price. Attorneys, accountants, business owners, and lawmakers have raised questions, yet the administration keeps repeating its talking points. That looks less like confidence and more like being disconnected from the people affected.
Governor Sherrill and Commissioner Jarvis should explain what they are doing to investigate lost contracts, provide usable guidance, and preserve legitimate independent work. If they believe these reports are mistaken, show the evidence. If people are losing opportunities because businesses fear the consequences of hiring them, address it.
And legislators on both sides should stop expressing concern without following through. A sympathetic comment at a hearing accomplishes very little for someone whose contract just disappeared.
New Jersey deserves officials who can recognize a problem and fix it. Calling everyone confused while their livelihoods remain uncertain is an insult, not leadership, professionals call is Gaslighting. Thank you to all of the NJ narcissistic politicians, and please stop drinking the union CoolAid, there’s something in it. LOL
I share your frustration, that everyone including lawmakers on both sides of the aisle is indicating there is a real problem, but nobody is doing anything about it. I think I said on this show that there is a real lack of leadership in solving the problem that is quite apparent at this point. It's entirely avoidable, utterly ridiculous and absolutely enraging.
