Christie's Plan at a Glance

Roll back a 9 percent increase for pension benefits for all future service.

Establish the retirement age at 65 and increase the number of years of service required for early retirement from 25 to 30 years.

All employees would contribute 8.5 percent into the pension system. Currently employees pay anywhere from 3 percent to 8.5 percent.

Eliminate cost of living increases for pensions.

Employees would pay 30 percent of health-care costs instead of 8 percent, to be phased in over a period of years.
