The Taxpayer-Funded Political Machine
New Jersey Public Education Coalition
New Jersey Public Education Coalition
The NJEA is a taxpayer-funded special interest. The NJEA rigged the system so that over a hundred million of property tax dollars go directly to the NJEA every year without teachers ever seeing the money. The NJEA then spends most of this money on politics at both the state and local levels. The modern NJEA is a political machine. Its Executive Office is dominated by political operatives and almost all its activities involve political action. In politics, money is power, and the NJEA has more money than any other group. This taxpayer-funded special interest is now the most powerful political force in the state.
Political Spending and Influence

Political Spending and Influence
In politics, money is power. The NJEA automatically takes in over $120 million in property tax dollars and teachers dues every year. According to the state’s elections watchdog, the NJEA is by far the leader in reported political spending, but due to reporting loopholes and clever disguise, what is reported is only a fraction of what the NJEA really spends. The SPCNJ estimates that the modern NJEA – with its Executive Office dominated by political operatives – spends about $65 million a year on politics at the state and local level. This makes the NJEA the dominant political force in the state – as it has been for decades. Over the years, the NJEA’s unmatched political clout has allowed it to rig the political system for its benefit and fight attempts at reform, all to the detriment of New Jersey citizens.

Political Spending and Influence
In politics, money is power. The NJEA has used its automatic taxpayer funding to far outspend the competition and gain enormous and unmatched influence over New Jersey’s political system. An important and largely unknown element of the NJEA’s political dominance is its use of an extensive network of allies and affiliates to project its political influence – often without any open indication of the ties between them. Using its hundreds of millions of tax dollars, the NJEA directly and indirectly funds a vast array of organizations that cover the full spectrum of political and social causes. These groups provide legal, policy, and community- and social-activist channels to promote the NJEA’s political agenda. They often form coalitions or act collectively to further the NJEA’s political agenda while giving it the appearance of a broader base of public support. The use of such proxies helps the NJEA obscure its political dominance and yet maintain that dominance.

Democrat Dark Money and BOEs - Part 1
Time and again we are told, ‘School board races aren’t partisan’. We’ve always known that wasn’t true, but now we have proof.
It seems a web of interconnected non-profits and Democrat PACs are attempting to put their thumb on the scale in this year’s BOE elections.

Another leftist activist group is pushing hard this year to help elect BOE candidates.
Emails obtained by NJ Project show that candidates funded by Action Together New Jersey (ATNJ) are frustrated that their ‘sane and decent side’ has not had cohesive messaging like we have with ‘parent’s rights’.

For decades the most powerful political force in the state – the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) – has thoroughly dominated New Jersey politics, rigged the system for its own benefit and brought our state to the brink of insolvency. Our pension and benefit crisis, our worst-in-the-nation tax system, and our underperforming state economy are largely attributable to the NJEA’s political dominance.
We believe that if New Jersey citizens knew these facts they would be outraged that a powerful special interest built a status quo that uses their tax dollars against their own interests, secures benefits for the few over the many, and blocks needed reforms.
As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said: “Sunlight is the best of disinfectants.” For the future of our state and the next generations of New Jerseyans, it’s time to shine a light on these facts and change the status quo.

Who better to help you with the present crisis of corruption in the administration of public education than educated NJ parents? The failed leadership at all levels of government has created a vacuum of desperation among parents and educators in the school community.

This anti-war Left-wing comedian is not only funnier than Jon Bramnick... he might be more of a common sense conservative too.

Why is it that a liberal comedian -- a Hollywood, Obama supporting, career Democrat -- is more of a common sense conservative than New Jersey GOPers like Dawn Fantasia and Vince Polistina?
