New Jersey may have passed a budget, but arguments about cuts to the spending plan continue.
In the most recent verbal volley, Gov. Chris Christie said during a news conference this week in Bergen County that Democrats cut $35 million from the state budget that would have paid for technology upgrades to state computers.
But it turns out Christie was wrong. The amount cut actually was $5.5 million. As a result, PolitiFact New Jersey rates Christie's claim False.
