“TRENTON — New Jersey legislative budget committees voted Monday to spend an additional $150 million on schools in the state and shift $31 million from ‘overfunded’ to ones that should get more money.
The funding changes, a variation of a plan put forth by state Senate President Stephen Sweeney and state Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto earlier this month, is the centerpiece of Democrats’ state budget bill, passed late Monday by the Senate and Assembly budget committees.”
