New Jersey residents pay among the highest taxes in the Nation. School union salaries and benefits have grown way beyond the rate of economic growth in NJ for years. Teachers pay little to nothing for their very sweet benefit packages.
Decades of this union driven largess has left NJ on the brink of Bankruptcy. In 2009, NJ voters kicked a democrat out of the governor's office and put in a fiscally responsible Republican, Chris Christie.
As reported here, Christie has taken a scalpal the size of an axe to the State budget and the unions are screaming bloody murder and the old phrase "but think of the children". One union head even emailed thousands of members to pray for Christie's death.
Watch NJ. If Christie gets it's fiscal house in order, he could become a strong contender for the top job in America to fix the mess the Obama Administration is making of things.
