 ISSUE: What should NJ do about public employee benefits?

Misticonus wrote on Feb 8, 2010 9:29 PM:

" Does anyone who creates "Issues" do any research on the topic that is to be discussed?

1. It would be illegal for the state to reduce or change the retired public employee benefits both pension and health to his or her's detriment.
Please go to the following website and read the report by the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services on the above matter.

www.njleg.state.nj.us/legislativepub/pubhear/JCPE082306.pdf

2. Why are you only mentioning state workers when they are in the minority of all retired public employees, Local Government, Police and Fire, and Teachers?

The average pension for a retired state worker is under $25,000. a year. (Div. of Pensions).

" Public workers have always had salaries below the private sector. The benefits are what brings anyone worthwhile to the jobs. I do think that the teachers should contribute and I believe reform is needed for anyone working for the state who receives over $80,000.00 in compensation (excluding benefits). The problem with the usual reform means that those lowest on the payscale keep getting less while the higher ups keep what they have and are ready to get more! Leave the retirees alone except for those who are getting pensions through double dipping! "

" Current workers should pay 25% of Healthcare costs. The retired should pay 25% Plus 2% additional for each year of service below 35. Pensions should not be reduced for those ALREADY retired. The Pension formula should be reduced, on a sliding scale, by 2 % for each additional year of service need to reach the minimum retirement age. "
