Sweeney Says Coughlin - not Murphy - Offered the First Olive Branch
Asked by a reporter on the heels of Governor Phil Murphy's speech if he heard a conciliatory tone in the state of the state speech, Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-3) handed the baton to Speaker Craig Coughlin (D-19).
"I honestly think the speaker has led on minimum wage," Sweeney said. "He struck that tone early on."
Sweeney is still smarting from not being governor.
