New Jersey’s voters back firing workers, freezing wages and cutting pensions in a poll released the day after Standard & Poor’s cut the state’s bond rating because of underfunded retiree and health-care liabilities.
Fifty-six percent of respondents in a Quinnipiac University poll said they support firing state employees, while almost four out of five said they would support freezing wages. Two-thirds said they are in favor of reducing pension payouts.
