New Jersey Budget Message

This past Tuesday, newly elected Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey delivered his budget proposal to the New Jersey State Legislature. His message includes tax cuts, curbing government spending, increasing government efficiency, and accountability. The speech is a little lengthy, but is exactly what every politician should deliver to their constituents. Thanks to Marina for sharing!

President Proposes School Reform

The Hill article does a decent job at summarizing President Obama's new School Reform proposal. The recent "controversy" surround the RI school is also touched on. On the whole, this plan sounds like a good one.....finally President Obama, a sound plan. However, more digging will need to be done to fully understand the proposal. Congress also has to take up the proposal and approve the funding.
