TRENTON – Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-3) just tore through the gallery on his way back to his chambers, ahead of a meeting with Governor Phil Murphy and Speaker Craig Coughlin.

“Is there a deal?”

He shrugged.

That’s not “no.”

But, as it turns out, they haven’t even had their second meeting of the day.

There was a delay of an hour to begin the meeting with the two other principals.

“There’s going to be a lot of hurry up and wait,” one source said.
