This is a big victory for Christie...Most of these budgets pass automatically every year. 55% defeat rate is unheard of in these elections...some of the county results were stunning...Participation rate was almost 30% of voters...
Teachers need to get a clue...Nobody, asks for pay raises in a recession and people have absolutely NO sympathy for someone that does not contribute to their healtcare costs...Typcial liberals think it’s okay to raise your taxes to pay for their benefits, but they can’t use their own money to provide for their families...So, now there will be even more layoffs in school districts...sometimes the lesson is hard to learn....
There is nothing stronger than teacher greed. Oregon has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. State employees are being furloughed, yet the teachers are getting raises. It's time for separation of schools and state.
