We're only a few days into the New Year, but already, New Jersey is facing a significant budget shortfall.

A new study of the most energy efficient states in the Northeast shows New Jersey, an early leader, has now fallen behind.

In politics things can change in a heartbeat and they often do, but at this moment in time Governor Chris Christie is riding absurdly high in the polls.

Are your taxes going to go up to help pay for Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts?

Governor Chris Christie's latest assessment of the damage done by super-storm Sandy puts the recovery price tag at almost $37 billion. Still, the Governor thinks New Jersey can afford a tax cut for the middle class.

The state Senate Budget Committee kicked off its first hearing into the state's response to Superstorm Sandy, and a major focus will be how to help towns financially recover as they struggle with rebuilding costs and lost tax revenue.

Before superstorm Sandy slammed New Jersey and plunged millions in to darkness, Governor Chris Christie was consistently berating the Democrat-controlled legislature for not passing a tax cut bill.

If you lost your home or your vehicles as a result of the wrath of Hurricane Sandy or if you had an extended hotel stay or were forced to keep a generator gassed up, then you know the super storm put a dent in a lot of people's wallets.

It's easy to get lost in the maze of politics and number-crunching when you hear about a budget deficit, but if New Jersey really is a quarter-billion-dollars in the red for the Fiscal Year that ended June 30 it could affect your wallet.

His critics say Governor Chris Christie’s projection of 7.2% growth in the economy this year is far too optimistic.
