TRENTON – Ahh, Trenton.

The mugginess rises like post apocalyptic napalm above the river.

A black SUV with tinted glass just pulled up.

The driver got out and opened the back door.

Lieutenant Governor Sheila Oliver emerged and disappeared inside 225 West State Street, where she was expected to join Governor Phil Murphy in preparation for a budget meeting with Senate President Steve Sweeney and Speaker Craig Coughlin and their chief seconds.

UPDATE: They were all inside, including Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald, by 9:30 a.m.
