A-55-14 Christopher Burgos v. State of New Jersey (075736)
In these consolidated matters challenging the State’s failure to make the full payment into the public pension funds for FY 2015, as required by N.J.S.A. 43:3C-9.5 ("Chapter 78"), did the trial court correctly conclude that the reduction of the State’s contributions violated plaintiffs’ constitutionally-protected contractual rights, that the State’s justification for that violation was inadequate, and that neither Chapter 78 nor the trial court’s adjudication of the matter, including remedy, conflicted with constitutional provisions including the Debt Limitation Clause, the Appropriations Clause, and the Governor’s line-item veto authority?
