Quijano Statement on Horizon-Budget Agreement

(TRENTON) – Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (D-Union) issued the following statement after the announcement that an agreement had been reached on the FY 2018 budget:

“This is a fair compromise that protects Horizon ratepayers and our Democratic priorities in the budget. It is unfortunate that the governor chose to use critical social services as bargaining tools, but I’m glad that after so many days of uncertainty and inconvenience for our residents, we have an agreement that keeps funding for these services in the budget without punishing Horizon’s policyholders. This was not an easy process, and I commend Speaker Prieto for standing his ground and fighting for what is right.”
