ISSUE: What should NJ do about public employee benefits?

lynn wrote on Feb 7, 2010 7:56 PM:

" 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. "
