New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill Talks Property Taxes, Energy Costs, NJ Transit and More During First Budget Address
- On March 10, 2026, Governor Mikie Sherrill presented her first state budget, a $60.7 billion plan, to a joint session of the Legislature at the Statehouse in Trenton.
- Because pandemic-era relief has stopped, Sherrill warned during a Feb. 26 press conference, New Jersey faces a roughly $3 billion deficit requiring cuts and reforms.
- The plan relies on about $2 billion in spending cuts and more than $700 million from closing corporate loopholes, including a business loss deduction cap of $1 million and a per-employee fee of $325–$725 for employers with 50+ NJ FamilyCare enrollees.
- The proposal would leave a $5.4 billion surplus and close the gap to $1.7 billion, and the plan now goes to lawmakers for roughly three months of hearings before July 1.
- Sherrill promises nearly $4.2 billion in property-tax relief next year, including $700 million for Stay NJ with eligibility capped at $250,000 and a $4,000 maximum benefit, to safeguard middle class seniors.
