In yet another indication that the failures of New Jersey’s old media and the absence of in-state network television affiliates have created a news desert, 53% of residents haven’t heard anything about the proposed state budget that captivates political insiders and threatens to create a rift between Gov. Phil Murphy and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin.

An additional 23% say they know just a little about the state budget, while 16% say they’ve heard some details; a mere 4% of New Jerseyans claim they know a lot about it.
