Gov. Murphy on Friday compared yearly budget negotiations in Trenton to a bad sitcom -- and says he wants to change the script. But what does that mean for this year's budget, which overwhelmingly passed both houses of the Legislature Thursday without the governor's millionaires tax? Joining News 12's Alex Zdan to discuss is Charlie Stile, columnist for the Record.
Plus -- what would a millionaires tax accomplish? And why is now the time to have one -- or not? Sue Altman of New Jersey Working Families and Chrissy Buteas, chief government affairs officer of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, join the show to discuss.
Watch NJ Power and Politics Friday at 9 p.m., Saturday at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. and this Sunday at 12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on News 12 New Jersey.
