Murphy hosts dinner for Dem legislative leadership

Hours after Senate and Assembly passed a bill to increase the minimum wage in New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy will host a dinner with Democratic legislative leaders at Drumthwacket tonight.

Senate President Steve Sweeney, Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald, Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee chair Paul Sarlo and Assembly Budget Committee chair Eliana Pintor Marin are expected to be in attendance.

This is the second meal this week for Murphy, Sweeney and Coughlin, who had breakfast at a diner in Sayreville on Monday.
