The NJ tax deal and the state budget

Hey, NJ! This week, we're talking about the state budget.

Want to know what NJ taxes are going up? Or where your tax dollars are going? Good luck. Hosts Maddi Ference and John P. McAlpin are joined by budget and finance writer John Reitmeyer. They discuss how, once again, New Jersey lawmakers have raced up against a budget deadline and conducted nearly all of the negotiations for major deals behind closed doors and in meetings where it isn’t always easy for the public to stay involved.
