Because Sunlight is the Best Disinfectant…

FL schools get better results than NJ for less than half the price. 2022 @NAEP_NCES shows FL 4th-graders top NJ in reading and math, especially disadvantaged kids. @NJEA pushed for COVID school closures that hurt NJ kids. Are tax $ being used efficiently? sunlightpolicynj.org/florida-public…


Voting with their feet: since 1990, a million people and $91 billion income have fled NJ for states with lower taxes and cost of living, including FL, TX, PA, GA, NC. Yet @GovMurphy continues to raise taxes and spending to take care of his govt union pals sunlightpolicynj.org/voting-with-th…


New research from @SunlightPolicy: NJ teacher pay is far lower than @NEAToday, @NJEA claim. They do not account for NJ's real world of high taxes and cost of living. In the real world, NJ teachers earn less than GA and TX -- without collective bargaining. sunlightpolicynj.org/wp-content/upl…


NJ's fiscal cliff has arrived. Government unions and their allies are calling for tax hikes but NJ already has high taxes that hurt the economy and lead to the outflow of people and wealth. Will @GovMurphy take care of his union pals and raise taxes again? sunlightpolicynj.org/as-predicted-n…


More strong, unequivocal words from @NewJerseyOAG @mattplatkin: we must care about the rule of law and political corruption ALL THE TIME. It's "pass/fail." But what about @GovMurphy's pals @SeanMSpiller and @BrendanWGill? Will the law be applied to them? sunlightpolicynj.org/attorney-gener…


NJ Attorney General @mattplatkin and Rep. @MikieSherrill said some strong words about NJ politicians and corruption. Will they apply to @GovMurphy's pals @SeanMSpiller and @BrendanWGill? Will they be held to the same standard as the 3 Wildwood officials? sunlightpolicynj.org/strong-words-a…


Insider NJ's @fsnowflack continues to flack for @NJEA-funded Mendacious Michael "Hundreds of Millions" Gottesman and @NJPECoalition. Once again, his column reads like a NJPEC press release. No mention of NJPEC's NJEA funding or lawfare on school districts. sunlightpolicynj.org/once-again-ins…


Will @NJEA-funded Mendacious Michael "Hundreds of Millions" Gottesman remove the names of school children from his open-records request? The names of 82 Cherry Hill kids were improperly exposed in response to his @OPRAmachine request. Will he remove them? sunlightpolicynj.org/will-njea-fund…


At @NJEA convention, NJEA leadership caught red-handed trying to deceive their members and hide the truth. They could have justified $43mm of teachers' dues to be spent on @SeanMSpiller's run for governor or discussed his legal problems, but they did not. sunlightpolicynj.org/njea-leadershi…


Young teachers are forced into a lousy pension system. Thanks to @GSI_NewJersey there is a better alternative. It is portable if they change jobs, vests in 1 yr, costs them less, and has guaranteed funding. They deserve a choice but @njea blocks it. Why? sunlightpolicynj.org/young-teachers…


New @TaxFoundation report: NJ 49th among states for tax competitiveness. NJ in bottom 2 for 9 years in a row and every year under @GovMurphy. All bottom 5 states have powerful govt unions using tax dollars to elect pols that hike spending & taxes. Like NJ. sunlightpolicynj.org/tax-foundation…


NJ teachers are being forced to back Democrats even though 61% of NJ voters aren't Dems. And to back @NJEA Prez @SeanMSpiller even though he remains under state criminal investigation. What if teachers don't want to spend their hard-earned $$ on politics? sunlightpolicynj.org/nj-teachers-be…


NJ ranked 49th out of 50 states for financial condition by @truthinacct: a "F" for every year under @GovMurphy and debt of $42,500 per taxpayer. The main cause is unfunded pension liabilities. Murphy upped govt spending by 60% rather than reform pensions. sunlightpolicynj.org/nj-ranked-49th…


NJ teachers continue to show they don't want to spend their hard-earned money on politics, yet @NJEA execs continue to spend it. Voluntary donations to NJEA PAC are down -22% but leadership has quietly transferred $74mm of teachers' dues to its Super PAC. sunlightpolicynj.org/teachers-conti…


New Sunlight report: @NJEA has lost 9% of its members. No wonder they are trying to block Sunlight's campaign to inform teachers about how their $1,082 annual dues are spent on politics and pay for Trenton execs. When teachers learn the facts, many leave. sunlightpolicynj.org/wp-content/upl…


Jersey City Mayor @SteveFulop4Gov: It's easy for @SeanMSpiller to spend millions to run for governor because it's "other people's money." But it's ALL NJ teachers' dues. Yet @njea leadership (including Spiller) hides the truth from teachers. What a scam. sunlightpolicynj.org/jersey-city-ma…


NJEA money continues to pour into key allies Education Law Center, NJ Policy Perspective and NJ Working Families Alliance. @EdLawCenter is the legal arm, @NJPolicy is the policy arm, and NJWFA is the GOTV operation to further the @njea's policy agenda. sunlightpolicynj.org/njea-continues…


Per @montclairlocal, @SeanMSpiller has been under ongoing state criminal investigation for 2yrs. Yet he's running for governor and @NJEA will spend up to $35mm of teachers' dues backing him. Voters and teachers deserve to know the facts about Spiller now. sunlightpolicynj.org/sean-spiller-i…
