Yeah right! The budget in the people’s Republic of New Joisey will NEVER get cut!
I’m with you, Murphy would melt like the wicked witch of the east if he tried to cut the budget. Empty threat. But it will be interesting if the legislators will call his bluff because they don’t want to get tarred with raising taxes in the same year NJ gets hammered with the loss of the deduction for the state and local taxes. Those of us trapped in NJ (and some, I assume, live here by choice) are already going to see our taxes go UP thanks to the federal tax cut. Now if they do raise the state taxes even more, expect politicians in NJ to be swinging from lamp posts around April 15 2019 when people see the bills come in.
