Jersey Jazzman: Reform Right: "Democracy Is a Myth!":


Reform Right: "Democracy Is a Myth!"

Meanwhile, in Newark:
In an unprecedented move, the Newark Schools Advisory Board tonight voted against approval of a budget submitted by state-appointed Superintendent Cami Anderson.
The board voiced its dissatisfaction with the way the budget was submitted, bereft of details, according to at least one member.
"We were all in agreement that there was a lack of transparency," said Board Member Eliana Pintor Marin. "I asked the question tonight 'where are the programs being cut,' and I got no answers."
Up against an April 8th state imposed deadline, the budget as submitted to the board totals just under $1 billion.
"There is no number of fulltime jobs losses itemized in the budget," Pintor Marin said.
The vote, which puts the school district in jeopardy of losing critical funding, was a slap at the Gov.
