Today is a big deal in the budget process. With only a few days before the budget deadline, lawmakers are set to vote to pass the budget in session this afternoon. Democrats have promised to provide only the votes necessary to pass the budget if every Republican votes in favor. It is unclear whether Gov. Chris Christie has 100 percent Republican support, as some were wavering in the past weeks. A budget needs to be passed before July 1 to avoid a government shut down.
