Teachers face mass layoffs as stimulus runs out

"This isn't just a New York problem," DiNapoli said in an early and detailed analysis of school aid after federal stimulus funds run out in 2011-12. "Other states across the country will face a similar dilemma if they used stimulus money to plug budget holes instead of paying for one-time expenses. "Stimulus funding is not a recurring revenue; it shouldn't be used for recurring expenses."

Christie looks to privatize

 

New Jersey would close its centralized car inspection lanes and motorists would pay for their own emissions tests under a sweeping set of recommendations set to be released by the Christie administration today.

 

The state would then sell the land where its facilities now operate.

 

Preschool classrooms would no longer be built at public expense, state employees would pay for parking, and private vendors would dish out food, deliver health care and run education programs behind prison walls.

 

New Jersey could save at least $210 million a year by delivering an array of services through private hands.
