PODCAST: New Jersey Senate GOP Leaders Criticize Budget Proposal

Welcome to the GSI Briefing podcast – hosted by Regina Egea, President of the Garden State Initiative.

As part of a special series, GSI traveled to the NJ State House in Trenton for one-on-one interviews with legislators, business leaders, and members of the press to discuss Governor Murphy’s latest budget proposal and GSI’s recent report, New Jersey’s Fiscal Cliff Explained.

In this episode, Regina is joined by Senate Minority Leader Anthony Bucco and Senate Republican Budget Leader Declan O’Scanlan who voice concerns about Governor Murphy’s budget plan and New Jersey’s structural deficit. The senators share their insight on increased state spending, and their frustration with the lack of consideration for budget solutions proposed by their caucus.
