Re: Jersey City Board of Ed fails to pass teachers contract
Newbie
Newbie


There are lots of misconceptions about the hours, workload of a teacher. Let's put them aside. To the previous poster, as a taxpayer, I am more than happy to pay taxes for good teachers. The problem is that
a) Without a better measure in place to determine the good and the bad teachers, all teachers get put into the same bucket.
b) Teachers must agree to a way to get rid of the bad teachers. You are not going to get the backing of public opinion for raises, etc if we feel that you are protecting bad teachers
c) You must agree to get rid of the pensions and replace them with 529k like plans. When you get something that the majority of tax payers do not, they are going to be less incline to agree to give you something more (i.e. raises).
d) If I went into my boss and asked for a raise, his first question would be "Tell me what you've done to deserve a raise". There needs to be a measure of how well jersey city in general has performed (test scores, graduation rates, crime in school, attendance, etc, etc). Then if these measures have improved then you have a case. Perhaps I missed it but I haven't seen any improvements in these numbers. Instead we are just being told we must pay more more for teachers for our kids.

Personally, I think being a union of public workers hurts you with the general image of the tax payers as most are not in unions and feel unions are out just to protect all members regardless of how hard they work or how good they are - rewarding mediocrity. My 2 cents...

I disagree with you. Reagan did his ducking damndest to screw things up and he did a pretty good job. But GWB did a pretty bad job.


I totally agree with what you said. Although he did helped end communism, his policies on taxes, drugs, and AIDS have had a lot of negative affects on America that we can still see today. I though totally support Christy's veto on this tax increase because raising the taxes on the rich may comeback and bite us in the balls when those people start looking for other places to live, REDUCING tax revenues which would mean most likely higher taxes on the middle class. If you don't believe me just look at what happened when they raised the tax on cigarettes, tax revenues went down, not because less people are smoking, it's because people are shipping in cigarettes from other states and selling them over here for a profit.

Re: what to do about neighbor's trash?

Thanks for your input, everybody. Much-appreciated.

On last Monday's trash night, a couple of guys (hired by the landlord, maybe?) came by and took about 2/3 of the pile to the street. They didn't show up again, so on Thursday, a neighbor and I suited up in boots and gloves and removed the rest of the trash.

It irked the hell out of me to clean up after a consistently inconsiderate neighbor, but it's good to be rid of the pile.

If Christy's tax solution was like the Titanic, the rich would be in the life boats, the middle classes treading water and hoping for a rescue and the working poor or unemployed locked in the hull.
Christy would also agree to paying more to the police and fire fighters which would equate to the ship stewards shooting those that seek survival who aren't part of the elite.............that's why it's good to keep cops salaries high !

Seriously, what a huge deal. This was a one time occurrence and you want to mention it at the council meeting. No offense, but I'm starting to understand why elected officials get tired of constituents requests.

I lived at the same place for over 10 years and every so often have to listen to some annoying noise from that red tower on Columbus & Warren (which I think has something to do with the PATH trains) but I realize thats just where I live.

What if something happened at the station and they needed a generator. Should they stops trains from passing through Grove St. until 7am? Seriously, I think your lucky because you wouldn't be too happy if the PATH train had those vents like NYC where you hear a train going by every few minutes.

Besides, I have a feeling you moved there because of the PATH train.

As far at 95 Columbus. Just thought I should mention. About a week ago there was an electrical fire/explosion as they were doing maintenance. And yes, they had generators for the following Monday.

The GOP can continue spoon-feeding the poor and ignorant their guns and bibles and freedoms (ha-ha) but not every American is so gullible.

H.
The minor is in a motor vehicle with parental consent from normal travel, either intra- or interstate, through the City of Jersey City.



I.
The minor carries on his or her person a special permit from the Chief of Police authorized as follows: when necessary nighttime activities of a minor may be inadequately provided for by other provisions of this chapter recourse may be had to the Chief of Police, either for a regulation as provided in Subsection J or for a special permit as the circumstances warrant: upon the findings of necessity for the use of the streets to the extent warranted by a written application signed by a minor and by a parent of the minor, if feasible, stating the name, age and address of the minor; the name, address and telephone number of a parent thereof; the height, weight, sex, color of eyes and hair and other physical characteristics of the minor; the necessity which requires the minor to be present on the public streets; and the beginning and ending of the period of time involved by date and hour. The Chief of Police may grant a permit in writing for the use by the minor of streets at such hours as in the opinion of the Chief of Police may reasonably be necessary. In an emergency this may be accomplished by telephone or other effective communication, with a corresponding record being made contemporaneously by the Chief of Police or to the person designated by the Chief of Police to act on his or her behalf in an emergency, at the police station.



J.
There exists a regulation issued by the Chief of Police in other similar cases of reasonable necessity, similarly handled but adapted to necessary nighttime activities of more minors than can readily be dealt with on an individual special permit basis. Such regulation by the Chief of Police permitting use of the streets should be issued sufficiently in advance to permit appropriate publicity through news media and through other agencies such as the schools. It shall define the activity, the scope of the use of the streets permitted, the period of time involved, not to extend more than thirty (30) minutes beyond the time for termination of the activity, and the reason for finding that the regulation is reasonably necessary and is consistent with the purposes of this chapter.



? 137-7. - Severability.

Severability is intended throughout and within the provisions of the Curfew Ordinance. If any provision, including any exemption, part, phrase or term or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, the application to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and the validity of the Curfew Ordinance in any and all other respects shall not be affected thereby. Additional exemptions to be included under ? 137-6 will be considered by City Council as warranted by future experience illuminated by the views of student government associations, school personnel, citizens, associations, parents, officers and persons in authority concerned positively with minors as well as with juvenile delinquency. The Police Department shall be responsible to make periodic reviews of the practical aspects of enforcement and interpretation of this chapter, including the need for clarification or relaxation of any term or provision contained herein as well as the need for continued or discontinued curfew regulations. Whenever, in the opinion of the City Attorney or of any court, the application of this chapter to a particular act or activity of a minor is unclear or ambiguous, the less restrictive interpretation shall be deemed to be the intent of the chapter.

Do you feel underpaid? Do you feel your benefits should be better?

Everyone is treated equally. If YOU earn a million dollars, you pay the tax. If I earn a million dollars, I pay the tax. Its not singling out an individual. If you don't want to pay it, earn less money.


Do you really think that millionaires don't pay taxes? They actually pay more taxes than teachers, fire fighters, police officers.

Such a stupid, narrow view of you people who think that just because you make a ton of money, you "screwed" someone over. WTF is that? Not everyone who makes a lot of money are bankers. I know plenty of people who make a lot of money who work in retail, technology, sales. Just stupid that you make such broadsweeping statements.

Also, I never said anything about teachers being bad or dumb. If anything, I think that we SHOULD pay teachers more and offset that with pension reform and teachers paying into their own health benefits, not this 1.5% nonsense.
