Quote of the Day

If Chris Christie wants to make a lasting impression on New Jersey politics, he’s going to have to look beyond the budget and the long-standing problem of punitive property taxes.

Here’s our coverage of the incident inciting Hart’s ire, the renewal of Superintendent Charles Epps’ contract without adherence to the Open Public Meeting Law, as well as a history, Hart claims, of patronage and double-dipping. Also see NJ Spotlight’s coverage, which discusses the DOE’s scrutiny of Jersey City’s schools.
