Asbury Park Press on Pay Freezes

The Asbury Park Press calls for all public employees, including teachers, to accept pay freezes and furloughs as part of a shared commitment to economic improvement:

During Tuesday’s budget address, Corzine should use his bully pulpit to call for shared sacrifice on the part of all public employees, not just state workers, in this time of economic crisis. No one should be exempt — not municipal or county workers, police or jail guards, teachers or college professors, or people working for independent authorities. It should be done in the name of fiscal responsibility and simple fairness.
