New sheriff in town, same old deputies in charge of NJ’s budget

New Jersey's budget process under Gov. Mikie Sherrill reveals a continuation of the old ways despite her promises of change. Veteran legislators remain in control, indicating that significant reforms may be slow to materialize. This situation underscores the challenges of overhauling entrenched political systems and highlights the potential disconnect between new leadership and established power dynamics. As taxpayers and citizens await more substantial shifts, the lack of change raises questions about the feasibility of genuine reform.
