Gov. Phil Murphy Set to Cut $48.5 Million in 2020 NJ Budget
Set to take action on a $38.7 billion budget ahead of a constitutional deadline, Gov. Phil Murphy is poised to make the following $48.5 million in cuts:
$38 million from shared services (a blow to Senate President Steve Sweeney)
$5 million from Cooper (a hit on the favorite hospital of George Norcross III)
$4 million from school choice
$1 million from East Orange Hospital (that’s the backyard of Essex County Democratic Chairman Leroy Jones, but a source insisted it’s not a swipe at Jones, noting that the allocation is being done separately as a supplemental)
$500,000 from a Rutgers grant.
$48.5 million total.
