Does anyone know what our Govenor's plans are for school consolidation? Would it be up to the districts, would it be along county lines, does their need to be a contigious border among the district, etc?
Looking to see if anyone know what this might look like.
Thanks

Corzine will push the legislature to create a needle exchange program: "We're losing lives every day we don't act." New Jersey is one of two states that does not provide access to clean needles.
A report by Corzine's Budget and Reengineering Government Transition Policy Group suggests "cutting state spending and barring the use of one-time revenue sources...to balance spending; expanding the 6 percent state sales tax to items such as tanning, massages, limousine services and cable television; lobbying Congress to make it easier to tax purchases through the Internet; implementing a temporary income tax rate surcharge if the other measures don't help; increasing the retirement age from 55 to 60 and considering a 401(k) retirement plan, rather than a pension, for all new state hires....requiring state departments to cut budgets, freeze work-force levels, slice salaries of nonunion employees, mandate a week off without pay for state workers and prepare layoff plans."
Most New Jerseyans prefer to have services cut than taxes raised.
There will not be a special election to fill the seat left open after Menendez was promoted to the Senate.
Leaders in Princeton borough want to consolidate their police force with Princeton Township's in order to cut costs.
