| First Benson and DeAngelo come out against Pension and Health Benefit Reform. Now Greenstein has joined them.
TRENTON — The Senate Budget Committee has approved a bill (S2937) to change pension and health benefits after a contentious four-hour hearing where 25 labor union members were arrested. The bill now moves on to the full Senate vote and Assembly Budget Committee hearing on Monday. The vote was 9 to 4, with four Democrats joining with Republicans to vote yes: Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May), Teresa Ruiz (D-Essex), Brian Stack (D-Hudson) and James Beach (D-Camden). “All politicians love to be loved. They like to be endorsed. They want to make everybody happy. At times you can’t do that,” said Van Drew. “We have to have real pension reform. If we don’t, the system is not going to be there.” http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/06/nj_senate_panel_approves_pensi.html |
