Corzine gets (police) union's nod
TRENTON — U.S. Sen. Jon S. Corzine, the Democratic candidate for governor, said Monday the state has a "responsibility" to pay what it owes the pension system for state workers, including police and firefighters.

"We need to make sure that when people protect us, their security is protected in their retirement, and that's exactly what we're going to do," Corzine said.

Corzine made his comments while receiving an endorsement from the New Jersey State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, the union that represents some 22,000 police officers and recently sued the state for not fully funding their pension system.
