Once Again, Mendacious Michael “Hundreds of Millions” Gottesman Resorts to Falsehoods to Make His Case
Posted On07/15/2025 byWe saw an op-ed in NJ.com by Mendacious Michael “Hundreds of Millions” Gottesman and we expected that Gottesman would play fast and loose with the truth, and we were right. In addition to being a proven, serial liar, Gottesman is founder of the NJEA-funded New Jersey Public Education Coalition (NJPEC), which serves as the NJEA’s…Read More
Gov. Murphy and AG Platkin Protect Murphy’s Pals with a Two-Tiered Justice System. Will This Be Their Disgraceful Legacy?
Posted On07/10/2025 byThe Montclair Local reports that Montclair’s CFO and whistleblower, Padmaja Rao, is leaving her post in Montclair for a similar position in Piscataway. This seems like a good ending for Rao and helps Montclair put a troublesome time — and its controversial former-Mayor/NJEA President Sean Spiller — behind it. But this shouldn’t be the end…Read More
Another Unsustainable Budget Signed by Gov. Murphy: The Special Interests Win and NJ Loses. Again.
Posted On07/02/2025 byAs we have said many times, Gov. Murphy is a status quo governor. He was elected with the support of New Jersey’s powerful, taxpayer-funded government unions, especially its largest, the NJEA, which spent over $20 million supporting Murphy. Murphy has repaid the favor by largely governing for their benefit. The result is another unsustainable FY2026…Read More
Politico Confirms NJEA Spent $45+ Million of Teachers’ Regular Dues on Sean Spiller’s Vanity Run for Governor — Without Teachers’ Consent
Posted On07/01/2025 byOnce again, Politico has stepped up with a hard-hitting, fact-based article on the NJEA’s questionable decision to spend $45+ million of teachers’ dues on NJEA President Sean Spiller’s vanity run for governor. We wish the authors had been clearer that ALL of the $45+ million* came from teachers’ highest-in-the-nation dues and that NJEA leadership has…Read More
Gubernatorial Candidate Sean Spiller Was Strongly Rejected By Those Who Know Him the Best: Montclair Voters and NJEA Members
Posted On06/13/2025 byWe learned a very important truth about NJEA President/gubernatorial candidate Sean Spiller from the results of Tuesday’s Democratic primary: he was strongly rejected by the very people who know him the best: the voters of Montclair and members of his own union. MONTCLAIR: Former-Montclair Councilman and Mayor Spiller received a shocking 2.5% of the Montclair…Read More
NJEA President Spiller Spends $533 Per Vote to Finish 5th in the Democratic Primary – All Funded by Teachers’ Mandatory Dues
Posted On06/11/2025 byIn the real world, NJEA President Sean Spiller lost badly in Tuesday’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, finishing fifth and garnering only 10.7% of the vote. By any rational measure, Spiller’s poor showing reveals the profligate waste of $45 million of teachers’ highest-in-the-nation, mandatory dues, which were simply appropriated by NJEA leadership (including the conflicted Spiller) for…Read More
Big Questions About the $40 Million in Teacher Dues Being Spent on Spiller’s Vanity Run. Would Teachers Prefer a $340 Rebate?
Posted On06/04/2025 byYou can’t make this stuff up. NJEA Vice President Steve Beatty and Secretary-Treasurer Petal Roberston were in New Jersey Globe today saying they support NJEA President Sean Spiller for governor because he “put[s] working people first.” Spiller is in NJ.com saying the same thing. This is laughable. According to Spiller and his NJEA cronies, teachers…Read More
