NJ owes the fire fighters pension 45.6 Billion ...that's 45 BILLION ....which Whitman raided..ahem borrowed .....in 1997 and never repaid a penny and now fatman wants the rest of our money and has the gall to call us "greedy" as he kicks us in the face! I’m getting pretty sick and tired of hearing these governors blame all states budget problems on public workers!

Governor Christie called New Jersey police and firefighters greedy and said their mass protest in Trenton on Thursday would play “absolutely zero” role in the ongoing debate over public worker benefits.

The governor, speaking during a news conference inside the State House as thousands of unionized police and firefighters rallied outside, said the unions are refusing to compromise on contracts that pay expensive benefits taxpayers can no longer afford.
