HERE'S WHERE THINGS STAND WITH THE 2019 BUDGET
Democrats are deadlocked over taxes as New Jersey heads toward another potential government shutdown — for a second year in a row. Last week, Murphy indicated that he wouldn't let another shutdown happen, and he's repeatedly suggested that he's willing to back down on certain revenue and tax issues, even if he has to veto certain items that he sees as "pork." Democrats in the state Senate, however, don't see things that way. "We passed a balanced, sustainable budget with no broad new taxes, a $1.4 billion surplus and while the Governor calls it 'Pork,'" Senate Democrats tweeted, "the legislature believes these items are major priorities!"
