New Jersey's public schools produce successful students who are ready to contribute to our workforce and build our economy. In a tough economy, you have to focus on what's essential. There's nothing more essential to our future and our economy than New Jersey's public schools. But Governor Christie cut state aid to education by $475 million. Now Governor Christie is talking about cutting education by another $1 billion this September. These cuts will mean larger class sizes, fewer programs in math and reading and not enough books and materials in classrooms. Governor Christie's cuts will hurt New Jersey's students. Governor Christie's drastic school cuts will mean higher local property taxes. Our schools simply can't function without adequate funding. School districts are already saying they will have to raise property taxes, lay off teachers and cut programs. At the same time, he wants to spend nearly $1 billion on tax cuts for the wealthiest. If Governor Christie has his way, New Jerseyans who earn more than $400,000 dollars a year will enjoy a billion dollar tax cut while our students suffer. Tell Governor Christie New Jersey needs to maintain its excellent public schools – not cut taxes for the rich. Tell Governor Christie to get his priorities straight. Sign our petition today!
