getting your back. it is not quite wedding season. pride bride toes be and take to somebody who is making headlines on say yes to the dress. i am bill spadea this is "chasing news." i hop you in have think the great martin luther king day. whether you had the day off or had to work today s. a special day for sure. not only is it a holiday but this is governor crist t's last full day as governor of new jersey. he heads out tomorrow on tuesday and then governor-oh lec murphy beens the 56th governor of the state of new jersey. a lot of things ahead. thet stays in trouble whether it is n.j. transit or the taxes or the conditions of our roads there is a lot for the new governor tackle but i want to bring in two peg,s who have been there every step of the way as we have gone back. maybe looking ahead anxiety and some positive optimism for the next four maybe eight years.

hoffman joins me and a republican stragsts who knows an awful lot about what is going won this administration here and good see you. how are you? >> well, good, thanks. well, good. we're joined by bill caruso who is a democratic strategists and i know he is looking with a lot of optimism as governor murphy takes the oath of office opp tuesday. good see you. bill. >> all right. i will start with you. republican governor leaving office and give me a grade on the last eight years and you probably know where i stand. >> toy. >> i give the gy a d or c on good day probably not. honest i. tell me good things you think happened over the past eight years. i will be a little bit more generous than you. i will give a b ny us in for the fact that the economy really improved under governor christie. we had more working than any point in the state's history and when governor crest ty came to office that was not the case.

>> what do you think? i hear some of this and on the economic positives that we have seen you still have people with exit plan trying to get out of the state because simply unaffordable. you could argue for the average homeowner taxpayer. it is got worse than eight years. yeah, it has. i mean, right in the sense when governor christie took office, the state was losing jobs. we prn the hardest recession. the troy story now is the recovery and we are lagging behind the neighbors and we are lagging behind pennsylvania and mississippi and alabama and that is not where they want to be. we lead in foreclosures. this is no at economy now. why are we for giving of former governors. rest in peace. a prolific guy to hold the office. honestly we got the tax and atlantic city is a mess and a time bomb waiting to go off decades later y. are we so soft on these former governors and i

understand respect for some of the passed on but governor crest ty has left a bit of a mess. remember that the recent legacy gas tax and the roads are hot fixed. nj transit and the state house ren vision and let's not forget. the book deal in at the last!men. >> that is true. first of a ul, bill. i think time heals all wounds the reason we are for giving of past governor bass the next guy we start criticizing him even more and i think it ing if happen with murphy. we're going to miss because it still takes about jobs and how the nation or it is still lagging among other states in the nation. it is going to get worse. all of this tax increase that he proposed in the calm pan alone. >> jeanette raises a good point on the other side taking action even before he becomes governor asking for resignation and a lot of bureaucrats and n.j. transit from a republican standpoint from a taxpayer standpoint i think it is a good first step.

amendment hap. i listen, think the new governor has a lot on the plate and i think there are struck are issues and part of the reason why we look at governors of past and then a little bit more fondness after times and realize these are hard problems to solve. this new governor is going to put the best effort forward and tackle issues we saw them and how are we going to become a global leader again in the economic fight. >> are either concerned though that you got a governor coming in that seems more there and eager to fight president trump and the administration and sue over taxes than he is actually ding and fight for what we need in new jersey which is affordability and jobs. >> yeah. well, time will tell. on what the true agenda is for new jersey and national agenda because he can run for president. i don't know, bill? listen, the day of the inauguration, everybody in new jersey is we shalling murphy well and hopes he days good job.

>> if there is one thing you think you taught do immediately. forget about legalizing mar mr and the millionaire's tax. what is the first thing you think he ought to do and will do do. >> he is putting the right people in place. putting a team together to tackle the problems. listen, you can walk and chew gum. i am ok with fear and outwent challenge the president and the national government on things that are impacting new jersey and adverse way. that is what i want. we got state problems here that has not to be fixed and i think he has the eye on the ball. do you agree that? >> well, time will tell. we'll see when gets the budget address to the state of new jersey in february ap see what the devil's in the details at that. well, if he is going to raise taxes and tackle the big issues like the benefit system which tax cost taxpayers every year. so i am going to wait to see

where murphy doings go here. i would caution him not to be too political on the national level because look at where it got him. >> i tell you this. them are things he could do that would have me onboard on-line with them. 's do what now former senator talked about for a couple of years. renegotiation the health benefit sous can bring down the costs by billions of dollars and still not did he ni the first responders and state workers access to excellent health care. this and i want see a the honest conversation the white house and department of interior on the possibility of feasibility of drilling off the cost. think think that is something that is completely up tapped resource that we are not having an honest conversation about it am we got to get beyond the fear mongering. you know what? come on. get the trains running. we'll see. we, you luck. we give them a couple of hours to get settled before we go after him. so all right. >> thank you. >> always good to see you guy. thanks. thank you. >> thanks, bill.

>> ok. it is not quite wedding season yet. but brides to be thinking about the spring and summer wedding and already out there looking for the dress. the question is what dress will they say yes to? we checked in with somebody who is a bit of an expert in area and got a new on-line series and won't hear the story especially if you are or no of a bride-to-be. allison gorm my has details. allison, be what do you got? reporter: fashion designer is one of the more popularred weral designers. her dresses are regularly featured on the tlc hit show "say yes to the dress" to learn more the design process and secrets to success we headed to her studio in new york city district. i don't like to overdevelop too much. i like to really have cohesive inspiration and really know what, you know, feel look i am going to do this even and different embellishments we're going to implement.

>> grew up the bay area of california and learned how to sew and crochet from the grand m and eventually she started designing and making her own dresses to wear to the school dances however she had resser vagueses about turning those talents no the career. >> i think when you are going in you don't think, oh a, can i make a living out of this. is have a viable profession. you think to yourself. you doubt yourself and you want to build the confidence and people appreciate and actually want, you know, what to wear and while we're getting ready and you oh, with the hir and makeup and they feel sparkly. >> in college in turned at l magazine and gat job with designers then in 2011 and 25-year-old haley got her own namesake collection at jlm. i thought in the bridal industry and i think that you shouldn't be bringing it.

for my approach, i wanted to address things. >> that is one of the reasons her dresses are so popular. they sparkle. low back, and are anything but boring just like haley. >> all crowive rounds you are constantly critiqued. think think that hindered a lot of people's growth ap makes them scared to proceed. for those looking to start the business. haley has advice. the most important thing is not to look at limitations. and always focus on what you have to bring to the table and in areas where you need support. >> lives in manhattan with her husband and their dog. 1:00 you can also catch her on the tlc digital series. he am allison gorm my reporting for "chasing news." >> don't go anywhere. a lot more "chasing news" coming for you tonight. i will check in with the first
