LOCAL LAWMAKERS WANT STATE TO CAP BUDGET INCREASE TO TWO PERCENT

Two assemblymen from our 1st District are asking Governor Murphy to cap spending in the new state budget to no more than two percent.  Republicans Erik Simonsen and Antwan McClellan are also asking for Murphy to consider South Jersey in this year’s spending plan.  Simonsen says as mayor of Lower Township, he was obligated to cap spending at under two percent.
