CODEY INTRODUCES BILL EXTENDING
DEADLINE FOR FY 2011 BUDGET ADDRESS
TRENTON – Senate President Richard J. Codey (D-Essex) today introduced a bill that would extend the date by which the governor must deliver the 2011 Fiscal Year budget message in order to give Governor-elect Christie's administration sufficient time to transition.
"This is a common courtesy given to many previous governors," said Sen. Codey. "In light of the serious fiscal challenges we face this year, I'm sure this extension is particularly welcome by the incoming administration."
The message, traditionally delivered on the fourth Tuesday in February, must now be transmitted by March 16, 2010. The move is in line with similar extensions that have been granted in the past for the first budgets prepared by other governors.
