For years Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been demanding the elimination of huge end-of-career payouts to public employees for their unused sick and vacation days.
A recent Star ledger of Newark report reveals that Democratic State senator Nick Sacco is eligible to receive over $330,000 for his unused sick days as an assistant school superintendent in North Jersey. The report has Republicans once again stepping up efforts to eliminate the cash-outs for all newly hired public officials.
