Who Owns New Jersey?
Some New Jersey districts have closed schools today. Many more will experience disruptions due to teacher absences and a lack of substitutes. Why? So members of the New Jersey Education Association can attend a union rally in Trenton against pension and property tax reform.
NJEA's "Back Off" Rally is a challenge for the union's PR reps. On the one hand, thousands will attend and NJEA wants to maximize press coverage and pressure on the legislature. But because it's a school day, they also have to tell parents it's no big deal and tell taxpayers it isn't costing them anything.

Not to mention the rally is moot. Gov. Jon Corzine has already rolled over on the union demands. (UPDATE: Or is he rolling both ways?)
Some are finally asking the right questions.
I wonder who came up with the idea of having the symbol for "Pi" in the palm of hand on that poster? It's like they're telling everyone to back away from their "pie."
