“.@GovMurphy asking legislators ‘Whose side are you on?’ has never had more meaning than it does right now,”But Sweeney, in a response to Trump, defended the budget., what you missed is our budget is both fiscally responsible and fair to working people, caring for those most in need – things you have failed to do. Budgets should not serve to punish the poor, the middle class, the rich or anyone.
