“New Jersey needs a budget that generates revenue, creates jobs and helps to stimulates the overall economy. On behalf of 30,000 education workers in the state, I welcome the news that Senate President Stephen Sweeney and General Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto are joining our action to fix the unfunded liability created by Governor Christie irresponsibly and illegally skipping pension payments. We need legislators in Trenton who are planning long-term to stabilize the pension system and invest in people and projects that will fuel growth and fund services for citizens.”
