New Jersey businesses will see their taxes drop by about $48 per employee this summer.
Governor Christie announced Tuesday that after running a deficit for several years, the account that pays unemployment claims is now well into the black. Christie said the roughly $1 billion balance in the fund will trigger about $200 million in cuts to the state unemployment insurance tax on businesses. That means the average business, which has paid about $700 a year per employee into the fund, will pay about $652 a year for each worker, the administration said — the first such tax cut since 1998.

WHAT IS the best way to protect our pensioners and the state while solving the pension problem in a way that is fair to everyone?
Embedding mandated payments on a quarterly basis into the New Jersey state constitution is not the answer.
The state constitution is the framework and the expression of our principles of governance. The issue of pension payments does not rise to that level. The New Jersey state constitution should not be a warehouse for politically sensitive issues.
