Do You Support Trenton's A.C. Takeover? 
NJEA: Chris Christie is a meanie!!!
Barbara Keshishian is having the worst day of her life - her entire union of thugs was called out for caring more about their own paychecks and free healthcare on TV. What's her standard solution? Hide behind our children, of course!
To wit:
"Barbara Keshishian, president of the 200,000-member New Jersey Education Association, said that Gov. Chris Christie's proposed FY2011 budget is "a disaster that would begin to dismantle the best public school system in America.""This budget is a disaster for public school children and for older students who want to further their education beyond high school," said Keshishian. "On the other hand, this budget is an unconscionable gift to those earning more than $400,000 a year. Gov. Christie is slashing education in order to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy.
"According to published reports, not only is the governor cutting nearly $1.5 billion from state education aid this year and next, but he also wants to put a stranglehold on future education spending at the state and local levels," Keshishian added, referring to proposed constitutional amendments capping state and local government spending growth at 2.5 percent per year.
"At a time when the state is facing record unemployment, he wants to lay off thousands of teachers, school employees, and college faculty and staff - adding to the problem. And at a time when education and retraining are the only hope for countless displaced workers, Gov. Christie is slamming the door of opportunity in their faces by cutting aid to our county colleges.
"What happened to his vow to cut waste, fraud, and corruption? He's gutting spending on public education, enriching the wealthy, and we're still waiting for him to address the corruption that plagues this state," Keshishian said.
"During the campaign, Chris Christie told teachers and school employees he would ‘make education a top priority.' Tomorrow, he is going to begin dismantling the best public school system in America. We will work for as long as it takes to help this governor get his priorities straight," said Keshishian."
Any one saying Christie’s budget will fix the problems; either they are naïve or does not understand the basic problem of NJ; too big & too many governments or they are part of the corrupt culture of that basic problem serving directly or indirectly in that Monster Size Government. NJ has Unionized Politicians joined together below the hips posing as Republicans & Democrats. Can these Unionized gangsters explain why 8000 sq miles NJ has 588 governments for 8.5 mil residents with over 9,000 elected scoundrels & 400,000 employees for a budget of $80 billion and deficit of over $150 billion including the unfunded liabilities like pension & transport fund? I am a Republican but I have yet to find a True Republican in NJ still I supported Christie who seems to be a lesser evil than Wall Street Thug & financial swindler Z Corzine. Stop singing in the praise of Christie unless he chop off at least 500 local governments, 600 School Districts along with 600 School Superintendents offices each stealing from Children’s Education fund more than a million dollar each month.

All of the reforms that need to be made aren't going to be made overnight.If you refuse to see past the tip of your own nose, that's your problem.
Feel free to do what losers like Michael Illions did and leave the party any time you like. Nobody's stopping you.

"He's gutting spending on public education, enriching the wealthy..."
This is sheer demagoguery. Whenever we get a public official who shows concern for taxpayers he is labeled a friend of the rich. Can this be any more transparent?

Thanks for throwing our kids under the bus Chris!
ohh never mind we dont have money in the budget now for the busses.
new families will not buy houses here because the classes are now going to be over crowed.
and all of the retired folks who boo hoo'd about what would have been a tax hike equal to a cup of starbuck coffee will pay 10+ a month per and watch their nest eggs shrink due to lost income when they sell and move to Fla.
Nice work BOZO
