Sweeney and Moriarty Unveil Legislative Agenda for Government Employee Compensation Reform
"We want to work with the Governor and the Legislative Leadership to make change a reality - putting taxpayers first."

(TRENTON, NJ) - Following through on their promise to put forth a comprehensive legislative agenda to reform out-of-control costs associated with government employee compensation and benefits, State Senator Stephen M. Sweeney (D-3), Chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, and State Assemblyman Paul Moriarty (D-4) today introduced a package of detailed reforms that would put taxpayers first and bring state and local government closer to "real world" employment standards. These efforts are essential if New Jersey hopes to stop the exodus of residents and businesses from our state. Sweeney and Moriarty also applauded Governor Jon Corzine, Senate President Richard Codey and Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts for beginning to address these and other reforms in the coming days and weeks.
