It remains unclear how many measures — and in what form — may land on Murphy’s desk, whether he’d sign a truncated package, or how much of the debate gets swept into talks between the governor and lawmakers in the final three weeks of negotiating a new state budget due June 30. That’s a period of time known for intense pressure and horse-trading in Trenton.
