Ben you dog.
You're still keeping tabs on your boy. I gotta tell ya, he's a mess but... I found that little skit somewhat entertaining. He might actually have a few things on the good folk of N.J. Well, no politics here. I refuse to do so.
However Mr. Despot, regarding L.I.P., while unlike Frankenstein, you did not create the monster but c'mon admit it, you did nuture him just a little. Shame on you Mr. Ruset.

I'm a jerk. Sorry.

Christie must be doing something right if that whackjob hates his guts.

Nice.. goodbye education, hello taxes and unemployment. Just what this bunghole of a state needs to get even worse. Dummies.

Just what this bunghole of a state needs to get even worse.

Great attitude; makes me really proud of our state workers.

Did you expect teachers to be happy about this?

Looks like its already working. And some wonder why taxpayers are fed up.

Freehold Regional High Schools Superintendent retires.

"The sometimes controversial superintendent plans to retire June 30, one year before his contract was set to expire.

Wasser, 59, of Manalapan currently earns $215,000 a year in addition to benefits such as medical insurance, a vehicle and a computer.

He is entitled to accumulated unused vacation and sick days when he retires, according to his contract. How many of those days Wasser has stockpiled, and how much he would be paid for them was not available Tuesday. However, Asbury Park Press DataUniverse records show that as of Jan. 1, 2009, he was entitled to $89,802 in such retirement pay and $4,333 in "other compensation."

Did you expect teachers to be happy about this?

My daughter came home from Middle School yesterday and told me that they announced in all the classes that they would be getting rid of ten teachers, cutting the art and music programs, and cancelling the 8th grade trip next year "because of Chris Christie." I told her to ask how many administrators and consultants lost their jobs. She joked that they haven't sold the 25 Macs in the "graphics design lab" that nobody uses.

Isn't it ironic that many unions have now become the problem, the 'evil empire' so to speak, that they were created to protect folks from in the first place. Hopefully, taxpayers will wake up, and where they can, like school elections, take a more active part and at least go and vote in them.
