I had to shorten the description for the headline but the employee was doing more than complaining, and he gets paid quite a bit to do what he does.
“Let me help you pack.” That’s what Gov. Chris Christie told one of the state’s top administrators when that administrator commented publicly that he could leave New Jersey and go to another state if his $242,000 total compensation were to be capped under the governor’s proposed rule.
Aww, the poor government worker who won’t see his $242,000 annual salary go up anymore. Why, he might have to leave New Jersey and leech off another state. It’s funny how he thinks talking about freeing up his salary is a threat. As if New Jersey simply couldn’t survive absent his presence.
