>NJ Democrats continue to pursue economy crippling cap-and-trade bill
Nearly a year after Gov. Chris Christie announced he was pulling New Jersey out of a 10-state anti-pollution pact, Democratic lawmakers are still pushing to rejoin it.
Calling the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative a failure, Christie said he wouldn’t let the state participate. Months later, he vetoed a Democratic bill that would have forced him to stay in RGGI.
The bill up for consideration Thursday in the Senate is considered largely symbolic, since Christie’s expected to veto it. (Associated Press)
