Gov. Phil Murphy declared Tuesday that New Jersey’s corporate tax incentive system is “broken” and “rigged” a day after his special task force concluded it was hijacked to favor special interests while doling out billions of dollars in tax incentives to companies.

And the Democratic governor vowed once again to veto any bill the Democratic-controlled state Legislature sends him to extend the soon-to-expire program if it doesn’t have necessary reforms he’s seeking.

“We are not just dealing with a broken system, this is a rigged system,” Murphy said at a news conference outside his office in Trenton.

“This was designed by special interests to benefit special interests," the governor added. “It allowed hundreds of millions of dollars to flow to insiders based on misleading, false, omitted, or fabricated information.”

The program is set to expire at the end of the month. And the Legislature is considering a bill to extend the deadline.

But Murphy insisted the system “cannot be allowed to continue for one day beyond June 30."

“Let me once again be perfectly clear: If the Legislature sends me a bill to renew this system without the necessary reforms, it will be vetoed," he added.

Murphy’s comments come after the special task force on Monday issued its first report on the tax incentive program overseen by the state Economic Development Authority.

Much of it focused on businesses tied to South Jersey Democratic power broker George Norcross III, who has declared all-out war on the governor and went as far to say Murphy and First Lady Tammy Murphy think “he’s the King of England and Mrs. thinks she’s the Queen of England.”

Norcross has sued the governor and members of his administration in response to the task force’s investigation.

The report, released Monday evening, included a number of examples and it says shows how the deck was stacked in the awarding of billions of dollars in tax incentives by the EDA.

In one November 2014 email attached as an exhibit, a vice president of real estate for Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where Norcross serves as chairman, sought information about a potential location outside New Jersey to use in an application for a tax incentive.

“I think Center Square may be the right comp,” the VP said, referring to a location in Philadelphia. “Can you get me a term sheet for 120k sf? Quietly? No probability of us moving to Center Sq, so I don’t want to make too much noise...”

The task force said the obvious reference was that the hospital executive, Andrew Bush, was seeking a “sham” real estate term sheet as evidence of its bona fide intent to relocate outside New Jersey, when in fact Cooper Health had no such intention. The program is designed to generate jobs — and keep them from moving out of state.

Murphy said Tuesday he was “horrified” by the report.

“I was not elected governor to continue business-as-usual, Trenton-insider politics, but rather to bring change that benefits the nine million people who call this great state home,” the governor said.

“This is one of those moments that begs the question, ‘Whose side are you on?’ I remain firmly on the side of our communities, our taxpayers, and our small businesses,” the governor aded. “They deserve a set of incentives that work for them.”
