Predicting Early Passage

Time will tell if this is wishful thinking, but Legislative leaders are hopeful that the Budget will be done early this year:

Sen. President Richard Codey and Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts Jr. said they hoped to get the budget passed on June 18.

The new fiscal year begins on July 1, so that would be the deadline before they'd have to stop the clock and extend time. Here's what Speaker Roberts had to say about what we will see:

Roberts says the proposed budget provides for basic services "but not much more."

In an election year with not much good news, the budget has the potential to cause nothing but headaches and bad headlines. They may just want to get this one behind them.
