A day and a half.
That s how much time New Jersey taxpayers had to examine a 219-page bill, which creates a program that could give businesses billions in tax breaks, before Friday committee votes when so many changes were made, it took 142 pages to explain them all.
The changes drove up the total price tag of the bill, from $11.5 billion to more than $14.5 billion, despite concerns from progressives the state couldn t shoulder such a financial loss.
The full Assembly and Senate expect to vote on the bill Monday and send it to Gov. Phil Murphy to sign. He has indicated he would sign it meaning the bill would be posted publicly for about five days before hitting the governor s desk if all goes as planned.
