One of the biggest challenges confronting New Jersey's next governor will be how to stop the runaway train that is our state's pension mess. The long-term pension hole is $44 billion -- nearly $10 billion more than the state spends on everything in given year. The hole was dug by politicians from both parties going back a quarter century, and governors over the past decade have failed to stem the tide. With the primaries a few months away, we asked Democratic and Republican governor candidates for their pension fixes. Some said they'll release their plans in weeks to come. Those with plans on the board propose everything from cutting public worker benefits and reinstating a millionaire's tax to using legalized marijuana or a north Jersey casino as a pension cash cow. Take a look at what they're saying, by following this link.

Vigils to Save Our Healthcare
Every Wednesday in February
4:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Many members of Congress continue to push forward with plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and cut funding for Medicare and Medicaid, with no plan to ensure that 30 million people nationwide - including 800,000 here in New Jersey - can keep their health care coverage. Waiting in the wings are plans to tax the value of health benefits as income! We're taking action to try and stop this insanity! Last week we had more than 500 people out to tell Congressmen Frelinghuysen, Lance, LoBiondo, MacArthur and Smith DON’T TAKE OUR HEALTH CARE! Join us this week as we continue the fight to Save Our Health Care.
