NEW JERSEY (WPVI) — New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy says he is ending the greatest debate in the state, once and for all.
On Thursday, Murphy took a stance on a dispute that’s as old as the state itself: the Taylor Ham vs. Pork Roll discussion.
He signed an official proclamation declaring it to be Taylor Ham in honor of the music icon Taylor Swift, who’s visiting the state soon.
