Among the myriad topics New Jersey Attorney General Christopher Porrino was asked to address by lawmakers Wednesday was the Department of Law and Public Safety’s proposed budget reductions, and how that might square with outside legal fees.

“We feel that we have what we need to meet our current mission,” Porrino testified before the Assembly Budget Committee. “We always strive to do more with less. That’s just what we do. That’s what I did in private practice, and that’s what we do now.”
