No Legislative body is bound by the acts of a previous legislative body. With this ABSOLUTE SUPREME COURT PRECEDENCE in mind, Wouldn’t ALL contracts entered into by a Legislative Body Immediately be VOIDED upon the End of said Legislative Session?? Does a Legislative Body have the “RIGHT “ to enslave future generations in debt after their legislative session ends?? I SAY NO. Seems to me a lot of problems could be fixed overnight if we simply had an Amendment to the State Constitution of _________, to read

ALL PUBLIC DEBTS SHALL BE NULL AND VOID AT THE END OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT AUTHORIZED SAID DEBT.

In the US Constitution it says "To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;"

I take that to mean that the terms of any pensions can be changed every two years.

In any case, the pensions already being paid retired government workers and the pensions promised those currently in service, MUST be reduced. There is, as Governor Christie says, simply no money available to pay them.
