Its not that the NJ Democrats have put forth their own plan that is amazing. They have shown themselves to be incapable of just voting on the solutions that Republican Lawmakers or the Governor put on the table.

Many of the bills have already been filed, Sweeney said, and additional pieces will complete the package. "We have to invest money in order to expand business opportunity in this state," Oliver said.
