Gov. Chris Christie will be in Paramus this morning for a town hall meeting.PARAMUS — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is hitting the road again to pitch his education and pension reform agenda to voters.
He'll do it at a town hall meeting at the Elks Lodge on Route 17 in Paramus this morning.
Christie laid out the main points Tuesday in his first State of the State address.
They include eliminating teacher tenure, closing poor-performing schools and shoring up the teetering state pension system by requiring employees to work longer and contribute more to their retirement.
Christie also emphasized the need to continue to hold the line on spending.
Democrats say the Republican governor has cut too much, including an income tax credit for poor working families and $820 million in school aid.
