Yes, Really!
My kids go to Dennis Township public schools. We will see almost $300,000 in additional school aid. Almost 5% more than last year. I’m pretty happy (ecstatic!) that Governor Christie was able to balance the budget, not raise taxes, not add the extra $1 Billion in unfunded, new spending that the Trenton Democrats wanted, and still managed to send nearly $300,000 in additional aid to my childrens’ public school. And, oh by the way, that is $300,000 less that we local property tax payers have to come up with!

Plug in your town and find out how much more your school kids get this year under a truly balanced budget that doesn’t use McGreevey-Corzine-style accounting tricks.
