| STEINHARDT CALLS ON GOVERNOR TO RESTORE TRANSPARENT FORMULA-BASED AID FOR MUNICIPALITIES |

| Today, Senator Doug Steinhardt (R-23) sent a letter to Governor Murphy calling on the administration to restore the transparent formula-based aid in the FY26 budget for municipalities that was eliminated from the FY25 state budget.
An excerpt from his letter reads:
“In my own legislative district, every municipality loses aid from the $150 million cut. For example, Bridgewater Township loses $615,553, Blairstown Township loses $305,736, and Phillipsburg loses $209,219. These cuts take effect in the municipal budgets being adopted by local governing bodies over the next few months and will translate into property tax increases and/or service impacts if they are not restored.”
