Governor Christie on Pension and Benefits Reform (Part 4)

Governor Chris Christie unveiled a sweeping package of reform measures to make the state and local employee pension system sustainable for current and future retirees and to bring fairness and affordability to the public employee health benefits system. The Governor's reform measures are long overdue and desperately needed to shake up New Jersey's out-of-date, antiquated and increasingly expensive pension and benefits systems, and restore fairness and affordability to the level of costs that current and future generations of New Jersey taxpayers must bear.

Sustainability is the key. Let's hope it's infectious to other states and the Feds. Keep up the good work.

I'm from the coastal region of North and South Carolina, and have sold many, many properties to the good folks from NJ. Often, I hear about what you guys pay for property, income and sales tax, and I get blown away! Its unbelievable what you pay, but what's even more unbelievable is how dis-loyal your retired fat cat public union employees from NJ are. They don't support NJ by staying and spending their pensions in NJ, they leave NJ spend that money in Southern States! God's speed Gov. Christie!

We would like to all have free health care and it all paid for it is very nice to have. We would all love to have it no doubt. The fact is we can't afford it. Gov't are paid more than the private and we all are for teachers but they got to start paying for some of it. I know some idiot is going to say it. I'm not and taxing the rich is not going to fix it and raising taxes only goes so far.

Chris, if you ever run for President of the United States, I will support you unconditionally.
