No thanks. I believe that every individual and every employer should negotiate one on one. I don't want anyone telling me what to do or how much to be paid. Collective bargaining be damned, it leads to nothing but mediocrity, corruption, and crime. Freedom. It just works better.

Weinberg was referring to Lou Goetting, who is paid $130,000 a year as Christie’s Cabinet secretary in addition to about $87,000 in annual pension payments after retiring from state government.
How about surrounding yourself without someone who has thier hand in the cookie jar. It may change my( some of our) views that your serious about reform. Politics as usual. Shared sacrifice(taxpayer money) with his own flunkies.

Too funny. You do realize that Weinberg is a "double dipper", right? Hypocrisy anyone?

Is this a real estate agent saying this? I hate to beat a dead horse but of all the fields to sound high and mighty you my "friend" are not in the correct one. Sorry to burst your benevolent bubble.

All of these points just pretty much prove that no politician is above the fray. What irks most people about Christie is his do I as I say and not as I do policies. His words would carry a lot more meaning if he actually played by his own rules. I know the right will defend him regardless of what he does but the truth is in the pudding. The guy does not play by the rules that he would like to set for everyone else.
