Mercer County Superior Court Judge Linda Feinberg ruled Wednesday that New Jersey cannot increase judges’ contributions while the state proceeds. This marks the second time a state court judge has ruled against Gov. Christie’s administration in this lawsuit.

Judge Feinberg sided with Hudson County Superior Court Judge Paul DePascale, who sued the state over its pension and benefits overhaul. Judge DePascale argued that increased would decrease his salary, violating a state constitutional provision against lowering a judge’s wages.
