Do you want to know how to solve the State of New Jersey’s budget crisis? Pass the following laws:
(1) No individual may simultaneously hold more than two paying positions in which the wages are funded directly or indirectly by the State of New Jersey, or any Department or Division thereof, or any political subdivision thereof (i.e. county or municipality). [You can be a councilman and a freeholder or a councilman and a state senator at the same time, but you cannot be a councilman, a freeholder, a state senator, and a paid member of the school board or police department at the same time]
(2) An individual who simultaneously holds two paying positions in which the wages are funded directly or indirectly by the State of New Jersey, or any Department or Division thereof, or any political subdivision thereof will be eligible for only one set of health insurance benefits. The individual will be eligible for the higher level of benefit of the two positions.
(3) If an individual who holds a paying position in which the wages are funded directly or indirectly by the State of New Jersey, or any Department or Division thereof, or any political subdivision thereof is currently covered under the health insurance benefits of a spouse who holds a paying position in which the wages are funded directly or indirectly by the State of New Jersey, or any Department or Division thereof, or any political subdivision thereof he/she is not eligible for health insurance benefits, or additional compensation in lieu of benefits, from his/her position.
(4) An individual who simultaneously holds two paying positions in which the wages are funded directly or indirectly by the State of New Jersey or any Department or Division thereof, or any political subdivision thereof will be eligible for only one pension from the New Jersey Division of Pensions based on the higher paying position. The wages shall not be combined in determining pension benefits.
(5) If an individual who holds a paying position in which wages are funded directly or indirectly by the State of New Jersey, or any Department or Division, or political subdivision thereof elects to waive health insurance benefits in lieu of benefits provided elsewhere his additional compensation will be limited to the “out of pocket” cost, if any, of the alternative benefits.
(6) An individual who holds a paying position in which wages are funded directly or indirectly by the State of New Jersey, or any Department or Division, or political subdivision thereof will not be able to collect pension benefits from the New Jersey Division of Pensions while employed in and receiving wages from such position.
That would probably solve the entire problem and then some without cutting any essential services! I expect we could even decrease the state sales tax rate.
