Today’s NJ Spotlight quotes Gov. Christie on prospects for approval of the dueling
bills for tenure reform, especially in light of unexpected postponements of
education committee meetings in both the Assembly and the Senate. Senator
Teresa’s bill has some real teeth, although it’s decayed a bit over the last
months. Assembly Diegnan’s bill is a regurgitation of the proposal issued by
NJEA, i.e., afflicted with cavities and gingivitis. Anyway, here’s our fair Governor
“I will tell you one thing, a lot of discussion is going on in Trenton,”
Christie said at a town hall meeting in Freehold. “And I want to make one thing
very clear to the legislature: Do not send me watered-down, BS tenure reform.
If you send me weak tenure reform, I will veto it and send it right back to
you.”
For background, see my post last week at WHYY's Newsworks.
