Gov. Chris Christie and state Sen. President Stephen Sweeney both offered their takes on the overnight deal reached between Christie and the Assembly to raise New Jersey's gas tax, while rolling out a gradual reduction in the state sales tax.
With talk coming out of Trenton in recent weeks about some top Democrats who want to discuss hiking the gas and millionaires' taxes, one legislator actually wants to lower a tax we all pay -- but history shows the possibility of success is not high.
