TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senator Donald Norcross, D-Camden and Gloucester, requiring all future public employees to live in New Jersey was approved today by the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee.
“This bill makes the simple and reasonable request that anyone wishing to accept a job as a public employee in New Jersey live in the state,” said Senator Norcross. “New Jersey’s taxpayers pay their salaries and subsidize their very generous health and pension benefits. It’s only fair to ask public workers to live by the rules they enforce, and to pay into the tax system that pays their salaries.”
