POLITICAL PAYBACK FOR DEMS IN TRENTON

It’s political payback time for two leading democrats in New Jersey.  The state’s largest teachers’ union says it will not endorse Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Shelia Oliver for re-election in November.  66 democrats and two republicans were endorsed by the union, and Sweeney and Oliver both got the cold shoulder.  No candidates who voted in favor of pension and health benefits reform won the endorsement of the union.
