Beware of Juditsky. He has no business being a public employee with his crude attitude and flare for humiliation. I doubt that anyone wins an assessment appeal. I'd like to see what the board member's taxes are. I wonder if the are paying their "fare share" like the rest of us!

I think this is nice but can Assembly members Albano, Wagner and Milman investigate how our school administrators are not allowed under New Jersey law to question the status of all aliens attending our schools most especially those who are here illegally. As a result, these same illegal aliens are being accepted into our colleges taking a space away from a citizen and those here legally. I'm curious, how are they paying for this?? This is the real travestry facing New Jersey citizens. The flag, while I agree with the bill, is really a smoke screen hiding real issues facing American citizens living in New Jersey.

WOW.....6:35 PM post....that was my exact thoughts as well!!!!! Maybe they should address all the illegal immigrants working in NJ...so that we will have a United States of America to fly a FLAG over in the future. Maybe they should sponsor a bill mandating that only ENGLISH be spoken in the State of NJ.

Nice.......private sector job loss for NJ in October was 6,000.
Public job gains in NJ for October was 100.
Less people employed in the private sector to pay for more people in the public jobs. Our elected officials really don't have a clue. NJ government is too big at all levels and yet they keep adding jobs. I hope NJ goes bankrupt soon, so we can start all over with a clean slate.

Here we go again! Back when Gov. Whittman was around she did the same thing. If you have common sense you would understand that we will pay 4x the amount later. Make sure your towns pay their share now, not 4x later.
