[quote="Guest"]Aren't these kids still at school since they are there for school activities? Aren't they hanging around waiting for the bus as it stands today? I agree I don't see the danger. I see the inconvenience for parents having to arrange rides. However, I don't see it as less safe.[/quote]

However, as a taxpayer -- you've got to be pissed at Christie for making our school budgets his battle ground in breaking the union. He is messing with the programs and curricula well run districts have instituted. To come out and offer more money to districts that get their unions to freeze is just another effort at union bashing and not a "real" solution. It is too late, budgets have been reformulated, they are due to the state in 2 days. Each district's union is in a unique position. Some just gave back salary increases to pay for health benefits-- some have been already frozen for years due to contract negotiations, some are about to go to negotiations, so are more willing to play the governor's game. Should taxpayers be made to "pay" for this. <br /> <br />Christie is trying to break the union and is doing so on the back of municipalilties. He is just throwing out inflammatory proposals that can not be meaningfully implemented. Our programs and kids safety (no afternoon buses for PHS and no where for those kids to wait for a ride??? this is not safe.).</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, Mar 30 2010, 10:10 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Gov.
