Responding to claims of "lambasting" educators, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie sets the record straight on teacher pensions.

He says that teachers' unions should share the state's burdens when it comes to the many benefits teacher's recieve: "The overwhelming number of teachers pay nothing toward full family, full coverage health benefits, not just for the years of their employment, but for life." Gov. Christie joins a growing number of politicians who have called for reform in a system that is ravaging state budgets nationwide.
