As part of his efforts to reform public school systems in New Jersey and apply resources more directly to students, Governor Chris Christie pushed through a landmark bill that would cap salaries of administrators based on the number of students within each system. However, the law doesn’t take effect until February, and one district decided to act now in order to secure a salary almost $50,000 a year above the cap for its superintendent, LeRoy Seitz. Christie blasted Seitz as “the new poster boy” of public-sector greed (via Cubachi):

Hey, here’s the direct link to the video you mentioned:

How cool is that? Maybe you could post it next time.
Good for Christie!
We need the same information on everone in the federal government that is making over $100,000 a year and received a raise and how much the raise is.
Do you think Christie could be the prophesied Messiah? I’m just saying.
Cool Gov.
CLOSE that district & merge all the kids with another district.
Get tough on these ‘administrators’.
Woohoo! We need Republicans doing this every day times a million. A list of dead beat politicians!
This one is from Jersey and to my knowledge isn't the greatest on social issues. Just sayin'.
I’m really liking this Christie fellow. He should be the norm and not the exception!
That cloud thing is a metaphor that many of our sages interpret as Mendham Township, New Jersey, with all its former smoke-stacks. And didn’t Mich Daniels tell us that we needed a truce on social issues so that we could address our fiscal torments?
I love it when conservatives use Alinsky rules against Alinsyites. Polarize, focus, demonize.
Academia - Thick as thieves...
Good point. I forgot about the New Jersey school of allegorical interpretation.
Daniels did say there needed to be a truce, too.
I do bring up the following point - if they can't get the "right to life" stuff correct, what are the odds that they will get the private property correct?
I was at a David Barton presentation about a month ago and he presented some amazing statistics essentially stating that the Congressmen that voted right to life also voted fiscal conservative a very high percent of the time. The opposite was also true - Congressmen that voted pro-abortion were most likely to be fiscal spendthrifts.
His point was that if you don't necessarily care about the social issues - pro-life, but do care about the fiscal issues your best bet is voting for the right to life candidate.
Given our current state of fiscal and right-to-life affairs and make-up of Congress, it's an accurate assessment.
In the meantime I am combing my concordance for other hidden prophecies concerning New Jersey and overweight portends of the kingdom. :)
Very well written riposte. And I agree with you about social issues. I was making fun of Mitch Daniels, who I consider something of a Harley-riding goofball.
Amen, something I’ve also noticed for quite some time.
The state should simply say: “You obviously have a surplus of money, we’re cutting back your aid. Salaries $50K above the cap will trigger a $500K cut in state subsidies.”
I think I can compromise on social issues a little to have a fiscal conservative with guts in the White House. Would love to see the look on the rats’ faces at the State of the Union speach when he proposes this as a nationwide initiative....
