| I was at a forum in Newark last night where there was a lot of talk about the Governor's budget cuts. There was also no talk about the fact those cuts preserve essentially $1.3 billion in stimulus aid. There was a lot of talk about layoffs. "Hundreds of teachers." Never a word about "new" teachers. Or "young and effective" teachers. Never a conversation about the 100+ teachers in the Newark central office who got to keep their jobs because they are tenured, versus the kids who need teachers out in the field. I think this is the moment to drive this point home.
