NJ Transit and pay

Star-Ledger today: Sweeney and other legislative leaders are planning on legislation to reduce public employee pension and health benefits. In the same issue, we are told that massive delays in N.J. transit are because engineers are leaving for other railroads that offer better pay.

Teaching has become one of the shittiest jobs because of paper work, shooting drills and actual shootings, testing, testing and more testing. Experienced teachers look forward to retirement. New teachers burn out and look for opportunities to find new jobs. Their pensions will also be reduced.

The complaint is that only teachers with lowest college grades go into teaching.

Christie already reduced pension benefits 11 years ago.

Does anyone see a connection?
