The Legislature could pass the budget tomorrow, nearly two weeks before the June 30 deadline and leaders are voicing confidence that they have the votes:Senate Budget and Appropriations chairwoman Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex) and Assembly Budget chairman Louis Greenwald (D-Camden) said today that the budget is on track for approval.
"Obviously it's not over until it's over, but I'm guardedly optimistic that we'll have the votes tomorrow to pass it out of the Senate," Buono said.
"I'm confident we'll have the votes in the Assembly," Greenwald said. Senators Vitale and Van Drew have indicated they may oppose the budget and have voiced concerns. Republicans plan to put on a show and will unanimously oppose. With a 23-17 margin in the Senate, the Democrats will need to hold everyone else to pass the budget. We'll see tomorrow. |
