New Jersey governor launches panel on public worker health benefits

Original: Gov. Sherrill launches working group to examine NJ public employee health benefits

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has created a working group tasked with examining health benefits for the state's public employees. The panel will review coverage and costs for government workers, an issue with major implications for state and local budgets and for union-represented workers. Details on the group's membership and timeline have not yet been released.

Why now: Public employee health benefits are a costly and contentious budget issue in New Jersey, so any state review draws attention from unions, taxpayers and officials.
