TRENTON, N.J., July 1 (UPI) -- Republican Gov. Chris Christie vetoed $900 million in spending as he signed the New Jersey state budget.
The money, added by Democrats in the state Senate and Assembly would have gone to urban aid, suburban schools, the Medicaid program and college tuition assistance, The (Newark) Star-Ledger reported. Christie, who signed the budget on the last day of the fiscal year Thursday, called the spending "unconstitutional."
