Jim was discussing the story this morning about Bayonne's retiring police chief who is retiring with a staggering lump sum payout for unused sick, vacation and personal time, as well as terminal pay.
Governor Christie says there's no way he'll agree to a democratic proposal to allow public sector workers to collect up to 75 hundred dollars in bonus money for unused sick days when they retire.
The battle rages on over how much taxpayer money should be used to fund huge end-of-career payouts for public workers' unused sick and vacation time. The chairman of the State Senate Budget Committee is sponsoring a bill to cap the cash-outs. He calls it a compromise, but Governor Chris Christie calls it a joke.
