I have no intention of moving out of New Jersey - my family is here and I have never lived anywhere else.
However much improvement is needed, and with Chris Christie in charge, things should finally improve.
Unions suck, especially the NJEA
Here is a quote from my husband posted in Facebook - so well written that I am stealing it.
"Our wonderful local governments have allowed the rediculous 6 figure salaries for multiple administrators which are cushy positions provided by pols to their politically connected buddies. A bill has been proposed capping their salaries. In our district at least they agreed to a salary freeze. The great governor is merely asking teachers to ... See Moreagree to a salary FREEZE and to contribute 1.5% towards their health care. This is not much to ask when 1 in 10 New Jerseyan is unemployed and our property taxes are the highest in the nation. Let's not mention the rest of those employed in the real world who will never enjoy tenure (a job for life no matter how bad of a teacher you are), who already pay much more than 1.5% towards their health care, and who did not receieve a raise last year, will not receive a raise this year and may not receive one next year. Its simply greed and the thugs running the NJEA that are the sole cause of the high cost of education in this State."
I would rather see all of the assistant supers get canned rather than making the teachers take a pay freeze, but given the financial situation of the state - we don't have much of a choice.
I lost my job and didn't get a pay raise in two years - plus I worked much more than 50 hours a week - that's the real world - something that state workes will hopefully soon understand thanks to Chris Christie.
Later :)
