Murphy Looks to Legal-Pot States to Predict Possible Revenue
But the effort appears to be moving slowly in the Legislature, and Republicans say they view that as a sign legalization doesn't have enough support to pass the Democrat-led Legislature.
"A number of legislators remain opposed, which would turn that $60 million into a zero," said Republican Assemblyman Brian Rumpf, who opposes legalization and sits on the oversight committee that is considering the issue.
Republican state Sen. Declan O'Scanlon says he's undecided on the issue but thinks the discussion of fiscal year 2019 budget revenues is probably moot.
