That "reformer",New Jersey Gov Christie, Cut $1.6 Billion from Public Education.. Koch update..
GOVERNOR CHRISTIE'S FY14 BUDGET: ANOTHER YEAR OF CUTS TO NJ PUBLIC SCHOOLS
March 21, 2013
"In his proposed FY14 State Budget, Governor Christie continues to pursue his objective of cutting funding to New Jersey public schools far below the levels needed for children to achieve academically, as established in the state's landmark school funding formula – the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA).
In testimony to the Senate Budget Committee on March 20, Education Law Center warned legislators that the Governor’s school aid proposal for FY14 is so inadequate that it doesn’t even make up for the loss resulting from the Governor's massive cut in FY11, especially for districts with growing numbers of at-risk and bilingual students and students with disabilities.
ELC also warned that the Governor’s proposal, if adopted, would mark the fourth straight year of either funding cuts, flat funding or minimal aid increases and that this pattern is undermining New Jersey's longstanding commitment to providing all students the resources necessary to achieve the State's academic standards, regardless of where they live or in which public school district they attend school."

Fucking guy.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Everyone is getting out of Jersey. It's not just the traffic jams. 
I personally know of several people that are moving to Texas because of jobs.
Perry's goal of de regulation, and lesser business taxes has lured businesses there. While the business owners are voting Republican, much of the migrating employee base is not. Diluting the state from purple to blue is an awesome plan!!! Thanks Perry 
All this talk on Christie's corruption is important but it's also important to be aware of how he's not moderate At All. He's killing teachers in New Jersey!
There's that creepy smile again. 
That will ALWAYS be my image of him and her. It's incredible Democrats voted for him. Between that and Tampa, we know what kind of animal he is.
You don't act like that, bullying a person in public, humiliating them, and not have something wrong inside, and so does that woman with him. It's not a difference of opinion, passion or anything like that.
He shouted her down and denied her the right to speak in a democracy. That is how a country loses its freedoms. It's pathological and he'd be no different than the fascist rulers of Europe in WW2.
RED MEANIE!! With his wife's creepy plastered smile..
!!!
that's too busy kissing Christie's pimply a$$.. to borrow a phrase from the rude pundit,she.
Christie Hates Teachers, Not Just Unions
"New Jersey Education Association secretary treasurer Marie Blistan says public schools are the gateway for kids to reach their fullest potential, but Christie, “Has put targets on teachers’ backs. He has made teachers the enemy of the general public. He is also working very hard to separate private and public unions……….He is putting us in a position where we all need to fight for our own memberships and while we’re all fighting each other, in 14 months he’s going to come in a get re-elected. It’s his scheme to get re-elected and we cannot let that happen. We cannot let that man separate us.”
Blistan also took aim at Christie’s “New Jersey Comeback.”

You just gave me nightmares!
Thanks Cha! 
was on the GWB those 4 days, Unions, and Teacher of New Jersey!
but, I think the tables are turning.. I'm thinking Chris Christie is the one who's going to be having nightmares about Mayor Dawn Zimmer very soon now. IF he hasn't already.
Seems like this one will result in justice, we shall see.
Maybe I should call on my ancestors from NJ! (the 1700s, 1800s))
!!!
... what Scott Walker did in Wisconsin. 
the rug by the media in New Jersey that is too busy kissing Christie's arse.

... I don't know how old you are, but I will tell you anyway: It is obscene to hear Republicans of all offices, especially governors, talking so negatively and firing so many TEACHERS. The first one I ever heard do it was Bill Bennett when he said the Education Department should be abolished. I never did have much use for him, but after he said that, I have hated his guts ever since (and anyone else who speaks down about our Education system and teachers.)
Every day, it's like I wake up in a different world, a different and backward country. 
live in NY in 1998 I didn't have a tv. Not having had one in about 7 years I got my tv and watched fox for about 2 weeks before I said.. "screw that!". I could see to my untrained eye how obviously biased they were against anything that wasn't "bush".
In 2002 I stopped all corporate "news"
read narrative) considering it a waste of time. Thank goodness for the internet!
I just finished the first Season of "Newsroom" the other night from Netflix and laughed and cried at how good it was to see real news on TV again! lol
and how he was taking it to the unions. Nice guy, but ill-informed and he only received technical education without much inquiries into government or social justice issues. I wonder if he modified any of his views since then.
Christie is dangerous and anything to keep him from furthering his political ambitions is worth a K&R from me.
rather than dropped "to" 19%. Christie has gained a few points among Republicans as they rally to his side since he is their only possible candidate that could vie for the presidency in 2016.
would "like" Christie if they didn't have anything more than barely surface information. He one of the more affable bullshitter's around.
Mahalo for helping to get the real news out on chris Christie. 
for the Teachers and the Unions~
rug by the corporatemedia.
that's why we need to expose it.
