NJ imposes early retirement penalties

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - February 10, 2009 The governments had hoped to save money by shedding payrolls of more senior employees. But the state says Hoboken must pay $4.2 million and Bergen County $1.4 to prevent the pension costs from being passed on to taxpayers.

Bergen County plans to fight the issue, saying its plan was a severance package and not early retirement.

Hoboken Mayor David Roberts is hoping for an "amicable" resolution.
