Gov. Christie Continues to Hammer Dems on Sick Leave
A little over a year ago Governor Chris Christie conditionally vetoed legislation that would have provided $15,000 payouts for public workers’ unused sick and vacation time. He returned the bill with changes to eliminate any cash value for unused sick days moving forward, and limit the ability to carry forward unused vacation days to one year only. For 375 days, the legislature has failed to act on the conditional veto to provide reform of this broken system.
