An annual report from the think tank Truth in Accounting finds New Jersey's long-term debt, pension and health-benefits bills amount to $58,300 per taxpayer.

For the fifth straight year, a review of the states' annual financial statements by a conservative think tank finds New Jersey in the worst position.

A new report gives New Jersey a grade of “F” for having the worst finances of any state in the nation.

New Jersey is getting better about divulging its tops-in-the-nation debt burden but still isn’t entirely up front about the depth of that hole, says a think tank report.
