Hoboken Revolt

The Hoboken Tax Reform Coalition

Real Results:"Some janitors here in Hoboken make close to $100,000. The average teacher makes $77,000."
 
These numbers were taken from 5 years ago when the high paid janitor made 50k base pay and 50k in overtime.  That practice was halted more than 4 years ago.
 
Real Results: "We're top heavy with bureaucrats--we have 91 students for every administrator; the state average is 159."
 
Those numbers are from 2 years ago.  As promised, Kids First cut administrators down to 15 total for the district (5 schools).  This includes Every administrator; the Supt., asst. supt., Ba, all prinicipals, superivisors etc...
 
Real results:"We're spending $857,000 this year on 18 high school teams and none in the middle-school grades."
 
 There are 34 teams. The budget is 805K and includes salaries and supplies.  The supplies portion consists of 250k and is down from last year.
 
Real Results:"At nearly $25,000, we  spend the second-highest amount of money per student."
 
Those numbers are from 2 years ago.  As promised Kids First cut the per pupil amount to 20k.
The list goes on. When you can't run on the issues, attack your opponents.

With all of Chrisite's power to declare a state of emergency, he cut the budget by 9%, Kids First cut the budget by 7%.  Christie said, "this is
change we deserve."
 
Don't fall for the lies and spin, vote for proven leadership. Vote Kids First!

Let's not forget Real Result's rumor-mongering that the high school theater program is under threat; which Real Results insisted was the case in spite of the assurances of Carter and BA Davis explaining the state laws that restrict the board and prompted the change from contract position to teaching position. Incredibly after BA Davis had outlined in detail the legal restrictions Markevitch took to the podium at the last BOE meeting and essentially argued for the creation of the very type of special non-teaching position that Davis had just explained was illegal.
It must be another Real Results misunderstanding. They don't make these mistakes. But if they are all wrong here, it's not "dirty."

That's what their campaign told me.
Is it true that Liz Markevitch is campaigning with Raia as well? Stating that she's "not really against the budget'?

Folks here in the 4th ward are stating so...
That is what I have been hearing also. Strange isn't it. When they think they will loose they jump ship real fast.

It will be interesting to see what proves out at the polls. If there is a strange gap in a slate, well folks can figure it out.
The interesting question is whether Sullivan knows or is the dark; what incredible irony if there is a Maureen-Machine deal. Is Sullivan dumping all but one of her slate or is Sullivan getting dumped? Can't wait to see the polling numbers tonight.

Three more hours left for residents to vote. Then all the "errors" of information end as well.
