Reflecting the economic realities and challenges facing our leaders in Trenton as the attempt to craft the budget, Speaker Roberts offered this comment:"This may be the most dire budget situation that I have seen in all my years in the Legislature," Assembly Speaker Joseph J. Roberts Jr. (D., Camden) said after a late morning meeting with Gov. Corzine and other legislative leaders. "There are bad choices and there are worse choices." It looks like the question will not be if people are going to be effected by the budget cuts, but by how much they are going to feel the pain. And there is still no sign that things are turning around, meaning revenues will most likely continue to fall. Meanwhile, in an election year, Republicans will continue to take pot shots at every turn. It's all going to make for a very difficult climate to have these Legislators and the Governor face the voters in November. |
