EAST ORANGE, N.J. (CBS) -- New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has made many changes during his time at the helm of the Garden State. But there's one thing he says he won't dare change.

During a press conference in East Orange Friday, Murphy emphatically said he will not make New Jerseyans pump their own gas.

"I will not commit political suicide this morning in East Orange," Murphy said. "I'm not going near who pumps the gas."
