Senate President Stephen Sweeney and the Democrat-controlled Legislature want to reverse the Republican governor's cuts to programs benefiting the blind, AIDS patients, child sex assault victims and cities unable to meet their bills.
They'll need 3 Republican votes, even if all 24 Democrats go along.
Senate GOP leader Tom Kean (kayn) Jr. says override votes should be taken sparingly, not as political fodder for fall elections.
Christie shaved $1.3 billion in spending, including $900 million the Democrats added in, before signing the $29.7 billion budget last week.
Sweeney says he'll place the Senate under call, requiring members to cast `yes' or `no' votes.
The Assembly plans hearings on the cuts.
