There is no way any of these people deserve this kind of money.
LOL! Chris Christie is awesome. Get em Chris.
He gets it. He understands how the other side wants to play the game, and he’s a couple steps ahead of them.

Sounds like an argument an “evil Capitalist” would make.
Waaaa. I hear the lib supers whining. Christie sure has some nads. I greatly admire this man and hope the people of NJ appreciate what they have in this governor.
He’s right, why should they be allowed such high salaries on the backs of the people of that state who have lost their jobs and homes? They sure do think they are more important than anyone else. Maybe some in other states, who make less, will come to NJ and take those jobs if some leave.
Every morsel of the bureaucracy will wage outright war on Christie and the overall effort will be to outlast him. Also, look for personal smears and wildly imagined charges against him—forgeries, doctored photos, ridiculous rumors, etc. Think of him as Joseph McCarthy or J. Edgar Hoover—half of all conservatives today probably believe the lies the KGB/libs circulated about THEM. There is no level of insanity Christie won’t face—if they have to, the operatives will move right in next door to him. They’ll attack his family. His chances are not very good.
The superintendents job-hop to the next-higher salary as soon as they are able. I doubt many of them stay for the full contract. Same thing with town administrators in NJ.
We need to cap superintendent salaries here in Pennsylvania because they are approaching 180-thousand dollars in some districts near where I live.
When taxpayers organize and win primary elections here in PA, the incumbent school board members impose new teacher contracts, extend existing ones and do the same for superintenents to lock in spending hikes before the taxpayer candidates have a chance to take their seats.
This is a smart move by Christie to prempt them.
>it would lead to an exodus of talent
Bwaa hahahahaa!!
Just like the rest of the country, there are a stack of resumes that would gladly take any of these “jobs” for a teacher’s starting salary.
Is this the only true conservative with national recognition? Is there a GOP candidate named as a prospective GOP prez candidate that comes close to accomplishing what Christie is attempting - and apparantly having success with?
So that wasn’t a cat with its tail caught in the garbage disposal I heard earlier today.
You know, I'm all for letting the market decide salaries. However, salaries in the GOVERNMENT market is distorted by layers of drones and self-important unions.
In MY opinion there is no freaking way an administrator in public service should make this kind of money. For instance take this idiot I quoted from the article. This whiner is incensed with his possible pay reduction NOT because he thinks he does a good enough job worth a quarter-mil a year, but only because he's been doing it for 37 years and to treat him otherwise is just, well, wrong!!
Take a hike, bub. I'm sure some firecracker would love to take half your salary and do a bang up job.
He left them a work-around.That's not good.
The proposal infuriated many school leaders, who said it would lead to an exodus of talent and called for more time for debate.
Waaaaah! It b' fo' deh chillun's!
I understand that in some areas, the Teamsters have organized the school administrators.
That could certainly explain some of what’s going on.
