New York, NY —

New Jersey state lawmakers passed a $32.9 billion budget earlier this week, which is $600 million less than the budget approved last fiscal year. This kind of reduction in spending only has happened a handful of times since World War II. Governor Jon Corzine joined WNYC's Richard Hake for more on the New Jersey budget.
