It has to be very soon, because the clock is ticking," the Gloucester County Democrat said, referring to Gov. Christie’s desire to have a plan in place by July 1. "Whatever we do we have to have time to vet it. It can’t be rushed through."

Assemblyman Louis Greenwald (D., Camden) last week called the odds of striking a deal by July 1 about the same as being struck by lightning.
