State lawmakers will take up a budget bill during committee meetings Thursday morning after finalizing a deal with Governor Christie on Wednesday, a key legislative leader said.
Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairman Paul Sarlo, D-Wood-Ridge, told The Record late Wednesday that ongoing negotiations with the Republican governor resulted in an agreement on a bill that will largely resemble the $32.9 billion spending plan Christie put forward in February.
“We have a deal in place,” Sarlo said. “All the language has been finalized.”
