TRENTON – Progressive activists besieged the subterranean passageways at the Statehouse as they seek to prevail on Speaker Craig Coughlin and his members today to back Governor Phil Murphy’s millionaire’s tax-reliant budget plan.

There’s a 2 p.m. meeting scheduled among the principles.

The senate was caucusing.

Senate Majority Exec. Director Kevin Drennan just trooped though the gallery like an Italian waiter hlding aloft a giant, flat box of sandwiches.

“See, I do it all,” he told InsiderNJ.

Downstairs, meanwhile, the Amalgamated Transit Union Workers were in the house.

CWA leader Hetty Rosenstein (above) was here with members.

So was People’s Organization for Progress chief Larry Hamm (below).

“The last time New Jersey required the very wealthiest among us to pay the slightest bit more was in 2004, said Seth Hahn, CWA Legislative and Political Director.

“Now, 14 years later, the Democratic Legislature is refusing to ask people making ten times that amount to pay any more, all while telling us that is the progressive thing to do.  We are outraged that our members are going to be locked out of work for the second year in a row because the Legislature wishes to protect millionaires.”
