I'm no fan of my Governor(Christie) but I will give credit where credit is due and heres why

[bigdarryl]

In Governor Christie latest budget he's putting 2.25 Billion dollars into our pension system that is the largest single payment than any Governor in the past has done and that includes the Democrat Governor's. I am part of the NJ pension system as a retired law enforcement officer.http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/02/christie_includes_225_billion_pension_payment_in_new_budget_rules_out_tax_hikes.html#incart_river

1. Every day he gets up, flips a coin, which decides if and who he is going to screw that day.

That ain't leadership.

...should trust Christie with NJ pensions. I mean, his administration likely raided the funds and is seeking to divert more money: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/02/state_ordered_to_release_guadgano_pension_probe_records_report_says.html

From the OP link:

Three years ago, the governor and his allies in the Legislature shifted more retirement and medical costs to public workers, and raised their retirement age to 65. That was not enough to fix decades of mismanagement and neglect by previous governors, Christie said, a sign that he may be asking public workers for more concessions.

He's using the pension system as an excuse not to do shit for people.

His greed and avarice know no bounds.

5. Does Anyone Think He's Doing This For The Wrong Reason....

not to help the pension system - but to boost his popularity ratings?

6. He doesn't deserve trust on any issue.

I expect his motive is hidden. Look out pension system!
