NJ Governor Christie Pares, Signs New Jersey budget Into Law

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has taken $900 million worth of spending out of the $30.6 billion budget submitted to him by the Democratic-controlled Legislature.
The line-item veto of the spending plan Christie announced Thursday averts a potential shutdown of nonessential government services. The new fiscal year starts Friday.
The budget the Republican governor signed adds $150 million in public school aid on top of his original budget. It also keeps $447 million for the state’s poorest schools, which was ordered by the state Supreme Court.
