Brian Laird on WNYC, WNIC's Nancy Solomon joins us now with excerpts from and analysis of

and to take your phone calls about her asked Governor Murphy call in last night, which she does

once a month. And Nancy usually joins us here on the morning after. Yesterday, the governor gave

his reaction to the election of Donald Trump as president. The president-elect and the governor

have already apparently been in touch. The governor and Nancy also talked about New Jersey's ongoing

drought and the elevated risk of wildfires throughout the state. Congestion pricing is also back in

the news. Sources are telling WNYC that New York Governor Kathy Hokel is expected to officially resurrect

congestion pricing later today.

I think there's a noon news conference scheduled. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, remember,

had sued to stop the program initially. We think it's going to be a $9-based toll instead of the

$15. We'll find out in a few hours.

And finally, New Jersey's Cannabis Regulatory Commission is considering raising the social

equity excise fee. That's the $1.25 per ounce tax on cannabis that goes toward funding

things to fix the effects from the

war on drugs in poor communities over the years.

They're eyeing a big height potentially in that tax.

And we'll take your calls on any of these topics or any other New Jersey-related news.

We'll get to clips from Governor Murphy from last night, as we welcome Nancy Solomon.

Back to the show.

Hey, Nancy, happy morning after.

Thank you.

Good morning, Brian.
