They call it the Michael Patrick Carroll option, and they’re looking hard at it right now in the event that Governor Phil Murphy exercises his veto power over the budget submitted by the legislature.

It’s otherwise known as the Republican veto override option.

They’re discussing it now, a source told InsiderNJ.

If Murphy wields his veto pen today before midnight – line iteming the $36.5 billion budget passed by the legislature – the GOP could add votes – in both houses – to an override.

Talks continued Saturday morning.
