SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday he has a way for school districts to avoid layoffs even after their state and federal funding is slashed.
His solution: Get all public school employees to agree to salary freezes for the coming year and to contributing to their health insurance costs.

Christie is going to where the problem began in the first place…if the unions don’t back off then just shut the schools down to all but volunteers imo…
the NJEA had no comment…

He’s right to do that. The Teacher’s Union have to be brought to heel, and now is the time to do that. Christie is wise to not let the crisis go to waste.
