Since NJ was where I ended up for 5 years in the beginning of my Northeastern adventures, I have this love-hate relationship with it.
I have been following this as best as I can in the news from here. It more reminds me of the federal shutdown in the 90s over a similar issue or not balancing the budget.
I do not really know the particulars about the partisan plays, I do understand that this is not much difference than the TWU-MTA shutdown before Christmas. You try to push the other side to blink and sometimes they call your bluff.
