It’s NJ State Budget time again

The expensive line item, “NJ School Funding” should be the most important line item this coming Tuesday in Trenton. At the end of the Governor’s speech could some honest NJ politician raise his or her hand and ask the Governor, why do we spend $3120 per student for fixed building costs in Camden NJ schools, while just 9 miles down the road, in the Cherry Hill School district, fixed building costs per student are $1188 for same electric, gas, water,and telephone lines. Governor do you think spending $3120 for fixed building costs might be careless spending, or fraud? Don’t believe me! Google “NJ School District Budget Summaries.” The numbers are all available online for anyone to read. If NJ Abbott Schools controlled it’s fixed operational costs, school janitorial costs, and text book costs we could save a billion dollars a year in school funding. If I can determine these facts, why can’t the Commissioner of Education, or for that matter the Governor, or the NJ Senate President or the State Treasurer, or for a real treat, some of our State Supreme Court Justices. But who the heck would believe me I am just a retired grass roots data base NJ Red Light Camera investigator from Cherry Hill. Just Google my name and see if I’ve ever found “corruption” in the State of NJ previously.
