An apt time to repost this op-ed I wrote w/ Jen Coffey of ANJEC.
Yesterday NJ lawmakers announced rollbacks of our flood rules.
“How many more historic storms will hit our state — and how many more people need to die — before state policymakers act?”

New Jersey’s FY 2026 budget could and should have been a moment of courage. Instead, the budget process cut back revenue increases and dips deeper into the state’s cash reserves, while failing to protect residents from federal cuts.

The House's cruel budget eliminates vital programs for people around the country and blows an even bigger hole in the state’s budget that lawmakers failed to adequately prepare for.
“This is not about money — it’s about consequences," said @nicolenjpp.

“It’s vital that Attorney General Platkin continue his office’s efforts in shaping our state police force into a more transparent institution that is accountable to the general public,” said NJCA Executive Director Dena Mottola Jaborska.

The FY 2026 budget represents a missed opportunity to raise sustainable revenues and keep families afloat ahead of cuts to federal programs.
"New Jersey’s leaders must act quickly to protect residents from the financial storm ahead," said @NicoleNJPP.

The proposed increase to New Jersey's Social Equity Excise Fee (SEEF) would have strengthened New Jersey’s commitment to equity and justice.
"This is not just a matter of money — it is about making things right," said NJPP's @MarleinaU.

As families struggle to make ends meet, the last thing New Jerseyans need is to help subsidize film productions.
“Families in New Jersey need financial help today, not celebrity cameos,” said @ptrchn1.

Watch for latest on NJ budget from @NJPolicy's Peter Chen:
On @RoundtableNJ, David Cruz talks with Peter Chen (@ptrchn1), senior policy analyst with @NJPolicy, about the latest budget negotiations as the 6/30 deadline approaches.
Which programs will lose funding? Will it be smooth sailing, or will last-minute fights slow the process?

Over two years ago, I stood with allies to call on lawmakers to fulfill @GovMurphy’s promise to end the raids of the Clean Energy Fund.
Instead, the budget they passed last night TRIPLES the raids.
We are in an energy crisis. This is the EXACT wrong time to be doing this. 1/
While other states build up savings to protect residents from federal program cuts, NJ took a different path:
📊 Reserves reduced to $6.8B (below recommended levels)
📈 Deficit increased to $1.5B
⏰ Preparation for federal cuts delayed

🏠Yesterday, NJ lawmakers approved a smart way to raise revenue for the state budget! The new realty transfer fee increase only affects 3% of all property sales but generates hundreds of millions to help fund critical services for the state. #PolicyWins

This part right here. 👇
Lawmakers have a vital tool to fight back against DC dysfunction and protect our state: the state's cash reserves.
Without immediate action to strengthen the surplus, New Jersey will be putting families and seniors directly in the path of harmful cuts.
