Assembly Budget Committee chairperson Eliana Pintor Marin released the following statement in response the Governor’s signing of the Fiscal Year 2020 State Budget:
“I am proud of the budget the Democratic Legislature delivered to the Governor and I am very pleased that he recognizes that the spending plan is fiscally responsible and sustainable.
“This budget provides much-needed additional funding for NJ Transit, property tax relief, seniors, veterans and more while retaining a $1.1 billion surplus.
“I thank my colleagues on the Assembly Budget Committee for their tireless efforts over the past several months as we worked to produce a spending plan that funds our shared priorities.”
