On Reporters Roundtable, Joanna Gagis talks with Colleen Wilson with The Record/NorthJersey.com, Jelani Gibson with NJ.com and Colleen O’Dea with NJ Spotlight News about the numbers and negotiations coming out of Trenton as lawmakers hammer out the details of the $60.7 budget proposal for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Will there be funding battles over property-tax relief programs like Stay NJ and Anchor? What about lawmaker-sponsored line items, which are often added just days before the start of the fiscal year? What do higher than expected revenues mean for agencies like NJ Transit?
Plus, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup just weeks away, the panel talks transit ticket prices, last-minute preparations and the fate of a potential sales tax hike during the tournament.
