Public records show New Jersey has racked up $2.3 billion in COVID-19-related costs, according to public records obtained by The Associated Press.

The spending amounts to about 5% of the state's overall budget.

Gov. Phil Murphy says he expects federal aid to the state to cover the costs, meaning state taxpayers won't feel a pinch.

The $46.4 billion budget on his desk, which Murphy is expected to sign, calls for letting the governor spend up to $200 million of federal money at his discretion, though in increments up to $10 million.

The remaining federal money is subject to oversight from a joint legislative budget committee, which Democrats control.
