NJ.com: TRENTON -- Balking at what he called a "blank check," Gov. Chris Christie on Monday conditionally vetoed a bill that would have given police and firefighters control over the future of their $26 billion pension fund.

Those provisions prompted police and firefighter unions to accuse Christie of trying to kill the legislation.
