TRENTON – Senator Nicholas P. Scutari released the following statement on the budget agreement reached today:
I am pleased that the Legislature and the governor found common ground and averted a government shutdown. Budgets are often about compromise – but what was never on the table this year was the Legislature’s commitment to restore core Democratic values into the budget. This is a good budget and a good day for New Jersey.
