Christie's Pension Cuts Are Uncut

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 25, 2015

A judge has ruled that Governor Christie must reinstate a $1.6 billion cut he made to the state’s pension payments, and says he broke the law. New Jersey State Assemblyman John Wisniewski (D-19) talks about what comes next and what it means for the Governor.

NJ shouldn't need a constitutional amendment to compel it to fulfill its contractual obligations, says @AssemblymanWiz re: pension payments.

"Yesterday's speech was more about filming a commercial for a national campaign," says @AssemblymanWiz re: Gov. Christie's budget speech.
