Pension reform talk may heat up as Christie readies State of the State address
TRENTON — When Gov. Chris Christie delivers his 2015 State of the State address Tuesday, lawmakers and public workers will no doubt be listening for remarks on pension reform.
On the eve of that speech, and months after a commission’s report on recommendations for the ailing pension system was expected to be released, legislators, union leaders and lobbyists say they are expecting to hear from the governor on one of the biggest issues facing Trenton. Christie’s office has not yet provided any details about his annual address to the state Legislature.
The governor made mention of the ailing public employee pension system nine times in his 2014 address, proposing to crack down on pension fraud and engage on pension reform.
His team lost so I guess he in a bad mood. Did we ever get the figures for his security teams cost plus pensions for his little side trips to buddy up to the big money for his presidency run
It cost a lot less to protect him than Obama
Wa wa wsa… “there is nothing in the Governor’s speech or in the anticipated Pension Commission report that surprises us.
We must remember that we are little more than pawns in the Governor’s mission to become a candidate for national office. He is not interested in the facts”. Have to love the victimatzation tack the unions are taking, “we’re just pawns in Christie’s “bait and switch” game… like they had NOTHING to do with the $170 BILLION unfunded costs of their pensions and healthcare, they were just innocent bystanders vbeing played off as political pawns. What a joke !~
