| New Jersey Voters Reject Majority of School Budgets Amid Taxpayer Revolt New Jersey voters rejected a majority of school budgets for the first time in more than three decades, defeating a record 59 percent of the plans as districts sought to raise the highest property taxes in the U.S. Voters shot down 315 of the 537 proposals, according to the New Jersey School Boards Association. The last time more than half of the proposals failed was in 1976, when 56 percent were rejected, according to the group. Budgets were voted down yesterday in districts including Ridgewood, Edison and Teaneck. Residents fed up with rising taxes and stung by the U.S. recession used yesterday’s elections to reject the one area of government spending over which they have a direct vote, school expenses, said Brigid Harrison, a law and science professor at Montclair State University. The results may prove a “game- changer†for Republican Governor Chris Christie as he seeks to usher his budget past the Democrat-led Legislature, she said. “This is absolutely a clear message voters were sending that they support the governor in his efforts to shrink government spending,†Harrison said. “It’s definitely a win in the tally column for him. It was such a resounding rejection that it was actually the exception for one to pass.†|

No one would let him near their car - I initially felt the same way, but stopped a minute & realized that people are more important than things and figured he couldn't hurt anything. He did a great job, and my DH gave him $20 for it; another young guy, obviously a worker on a lunchbreak going to the restaurant next door gave him $5. the best part was that the old man was so happy and proud - he was getting money, not as a hand-out from us, but from EARNING it
