This half-hour program explores the state’s financial picture as a long-term problem, and its subsequent impact on average New Jersey citizens. The panel focuses what lead to New Jersey’s economic crisis and a range of actions that state government might take to confront the budget crisis. Further, the panel looks at how non-profits and those they serve will weather this economic storm, the impact on the business community in the state, and consider the true magnitude of the state’s financial crisis and the drastic cuts that will need to be made to make up budget shortfalls in the coming years.
