Mr. Christie doesn’t think that state and local budget problems can be fixed without tackling education spending. That’s because the state has a hybrid system in which local property taxes fund schools and some of the money is redistributed by the state from affluent areas to poorer communities. According to Mr. Christie, New Jersey taxpayers are spending $22,000 per student in the Newark school system, yet less than a third of these students graduate, proving that more money isn’t the answer to better performance.
