The Jersey City Council passed a resolution tonight to ask the Local Finance Board to let Jersey City defer $14.8 million in pension payments by a vote of 8-1. Councilman Steve Fulop cast the dissenting vote, calling the request for the deferral "the height of irresponsibility" and an election-year gimmick that pushes the burden onto future residents. Resident Yvonne Balcer also spoke against the resolution during the public portion of tonight’s meeting. "It’s still borrowing and it’s debt piled upon debt," she said. "It’s going to come down and crash on people as it’s crashing down on people in Hoboken in West New York."
