Governor's Budget Address. February 21, 2012 (Transcript Below)
Governor Christie: Now when I ran for governor, I made a promise that if we had the courage to make the tough choices the hard choices to cut wasteful spending that we would be in a position to focus our resources on the issues that really matter.
Now that we have our spending under control we can begin to prioritize. One such priority is New Jersey's colleges and universities. And today, because the people of New Jersey stood strong with me and had faith over the last two years, I am proud to say this budget proposes a nearly 6% increase in direct aid to our senior public colleges and universities.
