Christie, Sweeney look to rekindle ‘bromance’ as important N.J. business lies ahead
Will the “bromance” come back to Trenton?
Seven months after an angry Senate President Stephen Sweeney used some choice words to describe Gov. Chris Christie when he slashed programs for the poor from the state budget, Trenton’s top two political leaders appear to be in harmony again — at least on some issues.
Sweeney (D-Gloucester) endorsed the Republican governor’s plan to remake higher education, saying Christie showed “true leadership.” He even defended it last week before a hostile crowd of more than 600 at Rutgers’ Camden campus, where students protested plans to have it taken over by Rowan University.
