What’s Important to Know About Our Local & State Government This Week….

This week’s newsletter begins with our Annual review of proficiency-driven rankings of schools in the 7-District Dashboard and reactions from John and one Candidate to Dr. Moore’s (EIC Ticket) Candidate Statement.

We move onto Laura’s deep dive on OPRA requests to the District and find that former BOE Members and Candidates requested information that actually exposed the political motivations behind creating chaos surrounding the transportation earlier this year.

Next is our question to BOE Candidates on Academic Achievement and our Image of the Week that points to the hypocrisy of the “NJ21st is a Special Interest” slogan used by political operatives earlier this year.

Our Notes for the Week are a substantial collection that highlights another article exposing a TAP-Into outlet as “pink slime,” a note that connects the dots on the political machines’ attempt to use transportation as an election football, efforts by candidates connected to special interests in discussing everything but proficiency, our request for clarification from the EIC ticket on their position that our sliding rankings are not a concern and the continued inability of all town council candidates to answer questions from outlets that don’t run their campaign ads.
