NEWARK, NJ – Following Monday’s vote by the Assembly which failed to override Governor Christie’s veto of the millionaires tax by a vote of 47-33, Better Choices for New Jersey spokesperson Bill Holland issued the following statement:
“That the Assembly was unable to manage a two-thirds majority to override Governor Christie’s veto of the millionaires’ tax despite overwhelming public support for the measure shows just how out of touch the Governor and his allies are with the working families of this state. We praise those legislators who voted for the override and believe it was an important step in the fight to protect vital services and pass a budget of real shared sacrifice.
