Governor Chris Christie signed the FY 2014 budget into law today, Save Jerseyans, along with two accompanying appropriation measures; he also issued absolute vetoes for eight (8) separate bills (click here to read his veto messages).
I am happy that he vetoed a particularly insidious bill that would’ve penalized gun manufacturers.
Here are the broad strokes…
