President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus proposal includes $350 billion in aid to state and local governments.
The House Oversight Committee last week approved the assistance to help pay the salaries of first responders, school teachers and other public employees as lawmakers formally drafted the stimulus bill.
New Jersey and its municipalities would receive an estimated $9.4 billion.

Newark would get more money than any other New Jersey city, $169 million. Jersey City would get $135 million and Trenton $68 million.
Elsewhere, Jackson Township in Ocean County would receive $10.6 million and Piscataway Township in Middlesex County $10.5 million.
There even would be $924 in aid earmarked for Tavistock, a municipality with three homes and fewer than a dozen residents, which was formed in 1921 to allow county club members to golf on Sundays.
