Assemblymen Jack Ciattarelli (R-District 16) was the latest Republican to try to talk sense to the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) and its storm troopers, Save Jerseyans, but as the NJEA’s newly-released 2015 legislative endorsement list yet again proves, the Garden State’s largest teacher’s union isn’t interested in solutions.
Its #1 goal remains electing Democrats.
Past endorsement lists have always included a token Republican to support the illusion of non-partisanship. That was in the pre-pension battle environment:

I didn’t bother answering their questionaire. The NJEA had endorsed my opponents in the primary before a survey was sent to me.
Keep in mind that this is part of their regular activities funded with teacher dues. This is not part of their actual pac.
Bluest of the Blue!!! The Soprano State. Highest taxes, lowest fed government return….totally controlled for decades by the Dems. Nope, no surprise.
Notice how they are just staying out of LD26 though
If Christie broke NJEA’s neck as he promised, he’d be the frontrunner now.
Or maybe, they’re smart enough to realize that sociopaths like you aren’t their friends. We all don’t worship old men who wear funny hats, you know? #fuckyoumattrooney
