"Give 'em the positives!"
Politicians of both major parties love to tell their citizens that a law will provide relief but never share or address the consequences. Coach discusses 2 decisions in New Jersey, one new and the effects of one old one. Recently, NJ's Governor Murphy signed a law ending the Basic Skills test as a requirement for NJ teachers and how it will not address the teacher shortage issue is the first.
The other is how a 2% school budget cap per year implemented during Governor Christie's administration can lead to wasteful spending for unnecessary projects by a Board of Education, asks of the taxpayers for greater amounts of interest bearing bonds to cover what they actually need, and will never address the issue of what the 2% cap was even passed to do; a reduction or even a maintaining of the current property tax amount.
