Voters say pensions too “generous”
Asked how to make up the pension shortfall, almost half New Jersey voters say public worker pensions are too high. But they are divided on how to fix the pension’s problem. A Quinnipiac University poll shows 47 percent of voters think public pensions are too high, 9 percent think they fare too low. But only 12 percent want a tax hike to make up for the shortfall in pension funds. Twelve percent of voters, including 16 percent of Democrats, say increase taxes. Twenty-six percent of voters, including 40 percent of Republicans, say find a way to reduce the amount owed to workers when they retire.
