Two N.J. senators must be physically separated during heated school funding deba

[Guest]

TRENTON — It could have been a rock ‘em-sock ‘em day in the state Senate today.
On the one side was state Sen. Ray Lesniak (D-Union), an attorney and 27-year veteran of the state Senate who helped abolish New Jersey’s death penalty and led an unsuccessful push for same-sex marriage.

On the other was state Sen. Michael Doherty (R-Warren), also a lawyer but in the Senate for only six months, a global warming skeptic, anti-abortion activist and stalwart of the state’s conservative movement.

The tension began as Doherty railed against the state’s school funding formula, which he said was unfair to his suburban and rural constituents because it is based partly on property values. Doherty said the state’s large cities were getting a bigger proportion of school aid.

Lesniak — who last month called a critic of his housing-reform bill a “stupid imbecile” and a “mean-spirited, evil human being” — piped in, loudly saying “not true” while Doherty spoke.
