MAYOR BOLLWAGE STATEMENT ON CHRISTIE VISIT TO ELIZABETH

MAYOR BOLLWAGE STATEMENT ON
CHRISTIE VISIT TO ELIZABETH

Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage today released the following statement following Bush Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie’s visit to Elizabeth:

“Christie has called pre-k education ‘baby-sitting’ and, on the issue of our children’s education, he continues to be wrong when it matters most.  His refusal of $2 billion in education funding from President Obama’s stimulus plan concerns me because it would lead directly to a $2 billion property tax increase and would jeopardize 35,000 teacher jobs across the state.  Governor Corzine has made investment in education a priority since taking office because he recognizes the importance of ensuring our children are best prepared for the ever-changing job market.  His commitment to our children is evident in his dedication to providing increased education funding in the classrooms as well as his authorization of almost $4 billion to build schools and provide the best possible learning environment for students across the state.”
