demoRATS: TRENTON, July 4 — Instead of heading to the beach or preparing for a backyard barbecue, New Jersey's 120 legislators were called to the State House on Tuesday by Gov. Jon S. Corzine, who urged them to resolve a budget stalemate that has led to a four-day-old government shutdown. But the day ended with the impasse worse than ever.

After listening to the governor make a 30-minute appeal, in which Mr. Corzine emphasized his willingness to compromise with fellow Democrats in the Assembly over his proposal to increase the state sales tax, Speaker Joseph J. Roberts Jr. declared that the governor's plan could not pass.

"We cannot make it any clearer today: the sales tax increase is dead in the General Assembly," Mr. Roberts said. "We need to move on to other alternatives and end this shutdown."
