I voted for Christie but it had nothing to do with his views on hunting or conservation. I voted for him because someone has to get the out of control spending which includes pensions and benefits for state workers under control. Now don't get me wrong, I fully understand your job and what it entails and while some do deserve the level of compensation that they get, by and large the vast majority of states workers don't.
Prime example, state worker retires at 48, pension payments for a realistic life expectancy would be paying out 2.3 million, on top of that another 1/2 mil for health benefits while only contributing $133,000 to the pension fund. Is it fair for the taxpayer to have to pay that. No it absolutely is not.
