NorthJersey.com reported that Gov. Murphy has conditionally vetoed a bill that mandated body-cameras for all uniformed police because the source of funds – civil forfeiture proceeds – is too small.  All in, the body-cams would cost about $55 million.  The legislature passed the bill by wide margins and the governor called the cameras a “wise public investment.”  But apparently there’s no money for it.

This is precisely the sort of need that is buried by the unwise public investment of putting a record $4.7 billion into NJ’s broken and unreformed pension system.  The governor is perfectly happy to throw $4.7 billion of good money after bad because it makes his public sector union pals happy.  Meanwhile, NJ citizens must do without a “wise public investment.”
