Just imagine how low it would be if our absentee governor were actually here earning his paycheck.
imagine if the legislators in Trenton actually worked ?
@1.20pm: Did you actually read the article? Or did you just see his name at the beginning and went straight to the comments? Go back and actually read it and you will understand how asinine your comment is.
@1:20 only cares about his COLA, he couldn’t give a toss about what the governor has been saying for years: The real long-term issue confronting New Jersey’s finances is the massive costs of our bloated pension and health benefits system that must be reformed
Yea lets reform the pension system and ignore the real reason NJ has financial problems. The only thing 10:35 pm cares about is screwing government employees he isn’t looking to fix NJs financial problems and the runaway tax and spend political machine.
7:05 is the classic example of a union toadie. lackey and sycophant. if you think for ONE SECOND that the good people of NJ are going to put up with your shop steward spin your F*&^ing crazy…party’s over pal and no matter how you want to sugar coat it your DONE…yes, were going to SCREW the government employees and do you know why?
BECAUSE WERE DONE. you have been SCREWING the citizens of this state for YEARS and guess what?
now it’s our turn to say F-you! get out your placards, get on the bus to Trenton and spew all the lies you want…it’s OVER.
12:12 pm,
I am NOT a government employee or union toadie. It’s quite obvious that you are not very well educated and you clearly have an axe to grind with government employees. Your juvenile name calling and use of the “F” word exposes you for what you really are.
`
The FACT is according to a study conducted by the New Jersey Policy Perspective New Jersey’s Pensions systems Ranks 95th in Pension Generosity Out of 100 Top Plans Nationally. Here is a link to that report……

`
Try reading that report and educating yourself.
And I will say it again, you clearly have your head in the sand if you think Trenton’s only problem is the pensions of public employees.
`
You must be the beneficiary of some taxpayer dollar supported program. Could it be that you think by screwing the government workers you will get even more taxpayer dollars for your taxpayer funded program…..Hmmmmm
`
Sorry, that’s not gonna happen. The Taxpayers are fed up with useless wasteful government programs and supporting people like yourself with taxpayer dollars. Time for you to find a real job.
New Jersey Policy Perspective, a liberal-leaning group, New Jersey Policy Perspective, a left-leaning research group, The left-leaning think tank New Jersey Policy Perspective I show you this when the state goes bankrupt
Facts are just that Fact no matter who or where they come from. If you can’t understand that James there is NO hope for you.
so is bankruptcy, that means your pensions will be cut and massive state layoffs will ensue
FYI James I don’t get a pension. Do you.
Taxpayers will get their fair share of pain , hey they voted for these guys
Nice side step to my question. Business owners like me have been supporting people like you for decades James. Time for you to get a real job.
lol sorry no NJ Pension for me
James, have you ever collected unemployment checks?
lol 20 questions , not sure what that has to do what anything
Your answer gives you away.
`
By accepting those checks you have been a beneficiary of the elected politicians in Trenton at taxpayers expense like me.
`
Well you can thank me and every other business owner who paid into the system so you could collect your unemployment checks, because without us you wouldn’t have collected a dime from Trenton politicians.
`
And in just in case you were thinking about asking me if I have EVER collected unemployment checks the answer is no, never. I just get to pay.
ah I get wild eyed speculation ,lol desperate we are to uncover financial details
Ahhh trying to avoid the question and cover up the truth. You must have studied how to answer questions with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
lol keep talking so Mr Inquisitor what business are you running ??
Oh come on, you expect me to answer your questions while you are giving me the Bill and Hillary treatment with my questions to you? Nice try Mr. Blog operator but no dice.
Mr Inquisitor dose not like questions lol surprise surprise
When you answer my questions I will be happy to answer yours.
sure you will lol
Sounds like what a Clinton would say, avoid deflect and change the discussion like a good democrat.
