Angry Chris Christie Attacks ‘Poster Boy’ of Failed Public Education

From the Daily Record:
The school board approved a 5-year contract extension for Superintendent Lee Seitz on Tuesday night, just hours after Gov. Chris Christie slammed Seitz at a town hall meeting in Berkeley for seeking a salary well above Christie’s proposed superintendent salary cap. …
…Christie’s protracted rebuke in Berkeley [was] a seemingly unprecedented denunciation of a local school official by a sitting governor that went on for nearly four minutes. Christie mentioned Seitz by name, several times, blasting the superintendent as “the new poster boy for all that’s wrong with a public school system that is being dictated by greed.”
“Let me tell you something, I’m going to be speaking out loudly and clearly every day I can about Lee Seitz,” Christie said. “If Lee Seitz wants to try to put his greed and his arrogance ahead of the taxpayers of New Jersey, you elected me to stand up to people like Lee Seitz and others across the state and I will.”
Christie’s proposed superintendent pay caps would limit salaries starting at $125,000 in small districts to $175,0000 in large districts. Seitz’s $212,020 salary will rise to $216,240 starting Dec. 1, followed by annual two percent raises. He admitted to the Daily Record that the timing of his new contract will allow him to avoid the pending pay caps.
Stephen Gutowski over at Eyeblast.tv (which brings us the video) believes that Christie is on thin ice with his latest public tongue lashing. However, that doesn‘t mean he’s out of line:
Calling out individuals can be extremely hazardous. It can make you appear mean and, well, like a bully… hence the name [bully pulpit]. However, calling out an individual in a position of power who is using that power to cheat taxpayers out of their money seems, to me, a perfectly acceptable use of Christie’s position.

But a stark difference is here we have Chris Christi an American patriot who loves his country and who wants us to be a free sovereign nation, free to keep our guns, free to keep our freedoms, and free to keep our money, then he has so far surpassed this muslim cockroach in the White House, I say he derserves a chance to show us what he can do. So far I am impressed, but hey how about a Chris Christi/Sarah Palin ticket or vice versa. One way or another these are exactly the kind of people we need running our country. Chris Christi and Sarah Palin must go to Washington to help save this great nation before the socialists llike Obama or the Clintons ruin us. Just my humble opinion…

Posted on November 10, 2010 at 1:23pmThe Teachers Unions are very strong. At least their leaders are. A little known law that ALL unions are supposed to make their members aware of is called Beck’s Law. But the unions DO NOT tell their members. Why? Keep reading.The Supreme Court’s Beck Decision Recognizes Individual Worker Rights: In 1989, the U. S. Supreme Court established what are now known as “Beck rights” in the landmark decision Communication Workers v. Beck, Beck rights dictate that workers cannot be forced under union contracts to pay any dues or fees beyond those necessary for the performance of the union’s employee representation duties. In other words, any worker who objects to his union’s use of his dues money for purposes not directly related to collective bargaining is entitled to a refund of that portion of his dues. Beck rights are a triumph of individual rights over the political weight of union leaders. Workers in labor unions DO NOT HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR UNION BOSSES POLITICAL ACTIONS. All the member needs to do is notify the union they do not want their dues used for anything other than those directly related to collective bargaining, they will get a refund of their dues money.

Posted on November 10, 2010 at 4:04pmGive it up, Brad. Anonymity on some boards is harmful, if it’s a community of people who may have occasion to interact off the board. On a board like this, nothing is really gained by adding names. If I told you that my name was John Brown, you would apparently be happy. However, there‘s no way for you to know if that’s really my name, is there? I suppose you’d then want an address, maybe a phone number. Or e-mail address.
Those of us who read The Blaze and comment aren’t changing the world. We’re venting. It makes us feel better. And, with very few exceptions, we’re preaching to the choir.

“Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.”
–Clinton presidential aide Paul Begala, July 1998
President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.
This is why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.
The practice of keeping bad teachers “dancing lemons,” revealing the sad practice of shuffling bad teachers around the system instead of firing merely because they may have tenure on the job. While new teachers are automatically laid off due to budget cuts, teachers that have a disciplinary problem or a troubled history are kept because they’ve been on the job longer. This is wrong and reflects badly on the union and teachers alike, not to mention that it leads to a bad education for our kids.
What is the purpose of teacher unions? To work for children? Establish new and better requirements? Push their members to better serve parents and children?
“Despite what some among us would like to believe, it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees”
…National Education Association’s just-retired General Counsel Bob Chanin. (The NEA is the local County Association’s parent body). NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-piPkgAUo0w&feature=player_embedded
As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, “When school children start paying union dues, that‘s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.”
All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.

Posted on November 10, 2010 at 1:32pmSeeing as Seitz is specifically trying to artfully dodge what is coming, Christie is right to point him out. The teachers unions have been coming after Christie hard–and given that they are on the taxpayer dime, Christie is in the right to manage an out of control tax siphoning group of people. It used to be that you went into public sector jobs for the “feel good”. They weren’t high paying jobs, good benefits, but lower pay. NOW, it’s where everyone wants to be because you can vote (or have people vote on your behalf) raises for yourself and often. Forget reviews–and the usual raises do not apply. Ever wonder why your paycheck is stagnant and theirs is ever rising even in economic disaster? Go Christie!!

A School Superintendent is on call 24/7. Their job is a difficult one, and he does all his own negotiations with the teachers unions, which is not an easy task. He works 12 months out of the year, unlike teachers, and can barely find time to take a vacation because of the demands of the job.

Posted on November 10, 2010 at 4:52pmThe Parsippany School Board has decided that they are better than other school districts, and that they should pay thier superintendent more than any other district – why? Because they are afraid of losing hime to another district? Every other district is under the same constraints.
Trying to circumvent the will of the people/state will not work out well for Parsippany – I suspect their contract renewal will get increased scrutiny, I suspect the towns people will rise up and demand the count superintendent reject the proposed extension, and I can only hope that Parsippany finds itself looking for a replacement Superintendent this spring.
Gov. Christie is 100% right for calling out this scheme, which the superintendent himself admits is trying to circumvent the state-wide salary cap. Superintendent salaries are too high (by and large, my particular district in NJ already falls in-line with the proposed cap, so our Superintendent will NOT be seeing a pay cut, so no need for such shenanigans)…
Wait till the teacher’s unions start to re-negotiate their contracts – my district teachers choose to KEEP their contracted raise for this year, so they will NOT see a raise for at least a year or two by my reckoning – this year‘s raise will cost them a few year’s raises, and with a Republican in the Gov’s house and Michelle Rhee at State education Superintendent, I think we will get the backing to make that pay freeze happen.
THIS is the CHANGE I was HOPING for! Thank you Gov Christie!

Posted on November 10, 2010 at 4:56pmWhat makes this even sadder is that like all teacher union employees, we continue to pay for them long after they are gone from the system! Where are the voters in his district? Did they know about this meeting?
Report Post »Reminds me of the a local school district where the superintendent was going to retire last year. The school board got an estimate of $1/4 million to search for a replacement. So, they decided that in a “down” economy that would offer him a $10,000 increase to $242,000 for his last year and decided to throw in the future enticement of paying for his and his wife’s health insurance for the rest of their lives! So, they end up spending more to keep the man on for one year and they still will have to pay next year to find a replacement. Just can’t get my unwashed flyover state mind around this.
Even better, a director of our county government just decided to resign to pursue other opportunities. Out of the goodness of their hearts, the county council gave her a severance package of $250,000. The woman has her pension and we gave her another 1/4 million for what reason? Fine examples of our hard-earned tax dollars at work.
