Statement from Senator M. Teresa Ruiz on Budget Agreement

TRENTON –  “First, I want to thank Governor Murphy, Senate President Sweeney and Speaker Coughlin for working together to reach a compromise that does not diminish our commitment to fairly fund education, that provides services for people in need and that reflects our core values as Democrats. Throughout the budget process, we have never lost sight of what this is all about. It is about investing in the people of New Jersey. I thank our Democratic leadership for reaching this important agreement.”
