On Chat Box this week, David Cruz is joined by former Senate President Steve Sweeney, who talks about his support for expanding offshore wind technology as a jobs creator and a help to the environment. They also talk politics — from the November legislative races to Sweeney’s potential run for governor in 2025.

Then, transportation reporters Larry Higgs of NJ.com and Colleen Wilson of The Record/northjersey.com discuss New Jersey Transit’s financial challenges. Are commuters going to be hit with fare hikes and service cuts? And what’s being done to improve the state’s transportation system.
