The proposal would mean pay cuts for 366 superintendents at the end of their contracts, saving school districts $9.8 million.

Which if you do the math is about a buck-and-a-quarter for every man, woman and child in the great state of New Jersey, per year. I can hardly wait to start spending a windfall like that. No related posts.

Christie’s 2.5% Solution

I wonder how, with the budget fixed at 2.5% and with healthcare and energy costs rising without limit, after a few decades there is going to be money left for anything else -- not just pensions, but salaries, books, maintenance, buses, administration. All the money will be going to PSE&G and the health insurance carriers. But I guess if there are no employees, there's no one to insure or to keep warm. No related posts.

My Favoritest Republican

He's got his little file cards, Ronald Reagan-style, with talking points on every candidate and issue so all he has to do is stack them up and the press releases just write themselves. In Tuesday night's missive, Specter's defeat in Pennsylvania tonight is terrifying to Democrats. Because of his embrace of the Obama agenda, his constituents have risen up mightily and replaced him with ... ...a reliable vote for the Democrats, who has supported the Obama agenda.
