>N.J. Supreme Court to decide if judges must pay more for pension, health benefits
The legal battle over whether New Jersey state judges and justices should have to pay more for their pension and health benefits will be heard by the state Supreme Court and not a state Appellate Court, according to an order signed by Justice Virginia A. Long.
In the order, filed Thursday, the Supreme Court granted Superior Court Judge Paul DePascale’s request that it decide whether judges and justices must pay more toward their pension and health benefits is unconstitutional. (Hester, New Jersey Newsroom)
