N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy to deliver budget address. How to watch live today. (Feb. 23, 2021)
Updated Feb 23, 2021;
Gov. Phil’s Murphy’s pre-recorded fiscal year 2022 budget address will be streamed on Tuesday afternoon across his social media platforms.
The address will be shown on Murphy’s YouTube channel, Facebook page and Twitter feed at 1 p.m.
As Murphy prepares to deliver his address on Tuesday, he enters a budget season unlike any other since he took office in 2018.
The strong tax collections and likelihood of a one-time infusion of federal dollars has lawmakers on both sides of the aisle suggesting New Jersey’s coffers could be flush for at least one fiscal year before a potential cliff in 2023.
TRENTON There’s a push underway in the Legislature to allocate nearly $17 million over two years for efforts focused on revamping New Jersey’s youth justice system, specifically focused on Camden, Newark, Paterson and Trenton.
The bill, A4663/S2924, has gotten a hearing but no votes and has become a leading priority for civil-rights organizations and like-minded lawmakers, who say the state spends $56 million a year to run its three secure juvenile facilities but only $16 million on funds for community-based youth programs.
“The new normal needs to be restorative,” said Assemblywoman Shavonda Sumter, D-Passaic. “We need to invest in those efforts because it’s proven time and time again with New Jersey having the highest number of incarceration and recidivism rates for young people: It’s not working.”

Remember the financial transaction tax?
It’s looking like the exchanges’ threats to move out of the state if New Jersey imposes the tax may have worked (the exchanges even met with the governor of Texas).
