The pension woes in NJ are, to a great extent, the result of past governors' actions, but IMO Christie owned it as of his 2011 law/union negotiation package (that he is trying to renege on this year).
His argument that "I don't have to abid by my own agreement because my own agreement is unconstitutional!!! Ha, ha, suck it, ya liberal union pensioners, gotta pay for dem tax cuts!" is a pretty bizarre argument for a lawyer/ex state's attorney to make.
I don't think it is going to fly. How'd you like this guy as your President?
Christie gets schooled by judge
In January, attorneys for the state argued that Christie could not make full payments because the 2011 law was violated a debt limitation clause and an appropriations clause in the state constitution.But in today's ruling, Jacobson said Christie "now takes the unusual position in this court of claiming that this legislative contractual guarantee, which embodied significant reforms for which he took substantial credit with great national fanfare, violates the New Jersey constitution."
Jacobson also ruled that the state must reimburse the unions for legal costs.
whoa did he get the idea to re-write the NJ constitution like Cheyney/Bush re-wrote the law to make torture sound like it was legal? you know republicans don't have new ideas they just blow dust and rewarm, this guy should have only a few toes left as many times a he's shot himself in the foot over the last few years. have you noticed if he walks with a limp?/s he's gone from their golden dough boy to all out gangster in the rough, the things he's been doing is more reminiscent of the hoods that ran the state and local gov't back in the 20's, his he too nostalgic or just a right wing crook?
