Now: Day #2 Live-Tweeting the Senate Override Session - @bluejersey

by: Rosi Efthim

Tue Jul 12, 2011 at 10:40:43 AM EDT



As we did all day yesterday, Blue Jersey will be LIVE-Tweeting today's NJ Senate session, and observing the Democrats' almost-certainly doomed efforts to overturn some of Gov. Christie's harshest cuts - to his own budget that he submitted. What succeeded in this session is getting Republicans on the record defunding and sometimes dismantling programs New Jerseyans depend on. And go on the record they did, saying some pretty crappy, pretty stupid and pretty inaccurate things. Here's Sweeney, Codey and Greenstein talking about that.

Follow Blue Jersey's LIVE Twitter feed at @bluejersey. Hashtag #NJSenate.

Deciminyan is in the Senate gallery, and we hear he's even found a power outlet. This is in the absence of the gavel-to-gavel coverage of important legislative sessions that NJN used to provide. Ironically, NJN was killed in this very House of the Legislature because of backroom dealmaking. And apparently, thusfar, the disappointing NJTV has no interest in turning their cameras on this kind of legislative session.  

The session is just starting. You can also try watching the NJ Legislature website's video feed, but I'm not sure how the quality will be. Yesterday, it was skipping and stopping every few minutes.
