Who Voted For New Jersey's 23-Cent Gas Tax Hike?
Here is a list of state lawmakers who voted for or against a 23-cent hike in New Jersey's gas tax on Friday.

So how did they vote?
The state Legislature approved a plan Friday to raise gas taxes by 23 cents, a Gov. Chris Christie-backed plan that will take effect by Nov. 1 once the governor signs it.
Below is a list of members of both legislative houses - the state Senate and state Assembly - and how they voted.

The state Senate voted 24-14 to approve the plan, while the state Assembly voted 44-27 to approve it soon afterward. There was no word Saturday regarding when Christie might actually sign the bill, but he is expected to make it a law.
The bill also provides a small cut in the sales tax, but also renews the Transportation Trust Fund. The TTF provides money for state transportation projects that Christie shut down three months ago, when lawmakers couldn't agree on a plan to replenish the fund.
