Paramus NJ, Assemblyman Kevin J. Rooney was at Bergen Community College attending the NJ Economic and Fiscal Policy Workgroup for Bergen County with Senator Kristin M. Corrado and several other legislators. Our state faces a fiscal crisis of unsustainable legacy pension and benefit costs that suppress economic growth and competitiveness by crowding out needed investments in infrastructure, higher education, and economic development that other states are making. The legislature created the Workgroup to identify ways to address soaring pension and benefit costs, hold down property taxes, make state and local government and school districts more efficient, leverage the value of our assets, and mitigate the negative impact of the federal tax laws that target high-cost states.

  1. I normally don’t waste my time traveling to discuss the pending financial doom.
    I just talk to the closest wall.
    Saves gas and is just as effective.

  2. The state is falling apart

  3. Credit ratings will be cut
    More jobs will flee
    Timber !

  4. It’s the police . Talk about over paid . What a joke.

  5. The unions will continue to shake us down until the last dollar is gone

  6. The last dollar will be gone when your governor gives r free tuition for all and free legal representation for illegal aliens
