New Jersey's Democrat-led Legislature on Thursday passed a $300-million-a-year financial bailout for the statos nuclear industry, one that could raise the bills of utility ratepayers by $41 a year if approved by Gov. Phil Murphy. The measure passed the Assembly and Senate after several re-writes and boisterous objections from consumer advocates and environmentalists who warned it would penalize state residents. It also received a strong push from Senate President Steve Sweeney, whose district includes nuclear plants.
