Senate President Sweeney pushes N.J. Democrats to support Christie tax-cut compromise
Senate President Stephen Sweeney urged fellow Democrats in a closed-door meeting Thursday to support a compromise tax-cut plan he struck with Gov. Chris Christie despite the state’s weakening revenue outlook, sources said.
Sweeney was drumming up support for the compromise in the wake of two days of budget hearings in which revenue shortfalls were said to range from $676 million to $1.3 billion, according to sources at the meeting who were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations.
Some lawmakers doubted whether Sweeney would continue to push the plan after the revenue figures were announced, and he answered that question. (Renshaw, The Star-Ledger)

Ido not understand how either party can push for tax cuts when the revenue is not there is everyone crazy or do they just love going into debt?
