Gov. Phil Murphy’s budget proposal for a corporate transit fee would levy a tax on large companies to fund NJ Transit. On Chat Box, David Cruz is joined by Alex Ambrose, a policy analyst with New Jersey Policy Perspective, and Colleen Wilson, the transportation reporter with The Record/NorthJersey.com, to discuss whether the plan is enough of a lifeline for the troubled transit agency.

Also on Chat Box, Steve Sweeney, former Senate president and current gubernatorial candidate, gives his take on Murphy’s budget proposal and the state’s fiscal future.
