Cops are doing well in New Jersey under the new “burnout law.”
Retire after 20 years at any age. Cops can retire at 40, take a pension, and find new employment.

With people living into their late 80s and 90s, the debt burden the pensions cause on municipalities has become unreasonable.
I would propose the collection not start until the individual turns 65 (at the least).
Although I realize this would cause an uproar in the communities (police/firemen/etc...) that benefit from this contract.
But these folks are able to get very good employment due to their 20 years of experience in these highly specialized organizations.
Why should a security consultant making a 6 figure income from their experience have a need for a full police pension?
If wounded in the line of duty and unable to work, then yes, sure, collect at 40 something.
But an able bodied middle age man? No.

I also wanted a change of scenery and milder winters where I could golf year round. I like it here.
I never minded contributing via taxes to the public schools in my town, but my neighbors and others with kids always voted for the largest budgets and gave the schools whatever they wanted. The idea of thinking of the burdens this placed on others was foreign to them. Their kids first, other people be damned.
So I got out.

Under a new bill, teachers in NJ currently retired can return to work and receive salary and pension.
Have fun up there. I am smiling down here. May even see a Southern Hottie tomorrow for an hour session.

They take and take and take. The cops sitting at construction sites hired by the company in the city patrol suv for 8-10 hours a day $50-60 an hour making OT up the ass. Regular cop retire at 50 years old or less. Fat pension. Get another job. say makin 75K a year so combined they making 140-150K/yr. Pension should start at 65 not matter what age they retire! Its a ripoff. If i could I'd be outta here tomorrow. Murphy has his head up his you know what.
In the town adjacent to where I lived in New Jersey, a poorer town, a police sergeant with about 10-15 years service had an average salary of $145,000. The police chief was over $200,000.
The median income in that town was about $50,000. This type of thing is not sustainable for communities. But the police have their blind supporters, both on this site and in general. You’ll never see a change because of that.

NJ vaccine hesitancy: if the government sent around a mobile unit with people knocking on my door. I would be even more hesitant. That would for sure drive me out of the state.
Some of the “commercials” if you can call them that that for the vaccine are a bit over the top.
“But the governor also warned the state is “beginning to see” hesitancy among residents prompting a reduced demand for the vaccine. He said the state is brainstorming ways to “proactively reach” into communities to drum up support for the vaccine — including possibly using mobile units, public service announcements, working with businesses and “maybe knocking on your door.”
