The Star-Ledger’s Tom Moran condemns public union shout-down tactics

At a Rutgers town hall on his “Path to Progress” pension and health benefit reform plan, senate president Sweeney got shouted down by CWA members in the audience.  New Jersey has a serious pension and benefits crisis.  For too long, reform efforts have been stymied by a vested interests that don’t want reform.  For too long, voices that dare to challenge the malign status quo are shouted down.  Kudos to Tom Moran for speaking up and refusing to be intimidated.
