Milestone : New Jersey Appellate Court judges agreed that the state does not have to spend money it does not have.
When we weren’t looking, a panel of New Jersey Appellate Court judges got it right! On July 12, a three-judge panel issued a decision that upheld a state agency’s right to reduce benefits because of the state’s financial situation. In other words, Judges Philip Carchman, Ronald Graves and Carmen Messano agreed that the state does not have to spend money it does not have. What a novel concept. I wonder if that type of sanity will ever make its way to the New Jersey Supreme Court. (LaRossa, PolitickerNJ)
