The Democrat who controls the purse strings on staff spending in the New Jersey Senate is chopping Republicans' allocation nearly in half.

For years Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been demanding the elimination of huge end-of-career payouts to public employees for their unused sick and vacation days.

Gov. Chris Christie is expected to sign a compromise measure into law today in a private ceremony that would grant in-state college tuition rates to eligible undocumented immigrants, effective immediately.

Moody's Investor Service lowered New Jersey's credit rating Wednesday from stable to negative.

A New Jersey Assembly member is reintroducing legislation, already vetoed once by Gov. Chris Christie, to increase transparency at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

By now you've probably heard of or have seen videos of the so-called "knockout game" where somebody punches someone else in the face without warning. Under current New Jersey law the offender could skate without doing prison time, but a pair of New Jersey legislators thinks these sucker punchers deserve mandatory jail time.

A Republican member of the New Jersey Senate Judiciary Committee is fed up with what he feels is stonewalling on the part of the Democratic majority. Sen. Kevin O’Toole, R-Wayne, has introduced a resolution to end filibustering by Democrats on Gov. Chris Christie’s Supreme Court nominees.

It can be a vicious circle for many in New Jersey; they can't pay their bills because they can't get a job, but they can't get a job because they can't pay their bills.

While campaigning for re-election, legislative Democrats promised to work on job creation and the economy, but top-tier Assembly Republicans say those same Democrats have since abandoned that pledge.
