Big Biz wields influence over governors

When Gov. Phil Murphy got some pushback from NBC's Chuck Todd on this past Sunday's Meet the Press for the Governor's enthusiastic description of himself as a "progressive" and a "cold blooded capitalist" the former Goldman Sachs executive doubled down.

TODD: You think progressives accept you as a progressive if you call yourself a cold-blooded capitalist?

MURPHY: I don't know. I don't mean this literally but I kind of don't care. That's who I am. And I would put up both our economic record and progressive record up against any other American state over the last five years.
