Thanks to NJEdReport for amplifying our blog on that walking conflict of interest, NJEA President/Montclair Mayor Sean Spiller.  Spiller needs to be held accountable for the damage he caused to Montclair schools and kids.Read More

NJEdReport continues to be a good friend to Sunlight by reposting our blogs on their popular website.  This time they help expose Murphy’s on-going failure in his duty to educate NJ’s children.  Rather than undertake the hard work of remediating the learning loss his pandemic policies allowed, Murphy chose the cynical ploy of lowering the…Read More

Thanks to NJEdReport for amplifying Sunlight’s revelation that former-ED Ed Richardson was paid $878,569 in 2020, the year after he retired.  That brings Richardson’s total reported career compensation to $8.2 million, which omits both 2018 and his gold-plated pension.  All paid for by NJ teachers’ highest-in-the-nation dues.Read More

We appreciate Gothamist taking the time to call us and discuss the matter and then quote us in their article.  It’s not exactly the way we would have presented what we said, but the reporter looks like he is trying to present both sides of the issue, which is laudable. One detail the reporter left…Read More

Thanks to NJEdReport for delving into the obscure world of pensions and taking the time to present the issues clearly and comprehensibly.  In particular, NJEdReport highlighted the poor condition of teachers’ pensions when compared to the gold-plated, over-funded pensions of their leadership.  If only teachers knew what a raw deal they are getting.Read More

Thank to NJEdReport  for amplifying Sunlight’s blog on how Gov. Murphy is failing ins duty to educate NJ kids on multiple fronts.  We cite NJEdReport’s own reporting on how Murphy’s DOE is trying to dumb down student proficiency scores on state tests in order to hide the learning loss that Murphy’s own policies helped create….Read More

NJEdReport reposts Sunlight’s blog on NJ Public Education Coalition and its new status as an “affiliate of” Education Truth Project, a dark-money Super PAC that looks very much like an NJEA/NEA front.  As such, NJPEC looks like the muscle for an NJEA/NEA-funded campaign to intimidate school boards, with ETP as the dark-money intermediary.Read More

Thanks to NJEdReport for enhancing (with a pithy headline and a great picture) and amplifying Sunlight’s blog on Gov. Murphy’s and the (Democrat) legislature to weaken NJ’s elections watchdog.  Many commentators see this as political payback against ELEC’s chief, Jeff Brindle, who has sought to rein in dark-money Super PACs.  Murphy and his deep-pocketed special interest…Read More

Ben Weingarten of RealClearInvestigations wrote an excellent, balanced piece about so-called “media literacy” laws.  Weingarten asked for and Sunlight provided a comment on the New Jersey law, which on its face looks neutral and was supported by numerous Republicans, including Sen. Mike Testa.  However, Weingarten’s piece makes clear that the impetus behind many of these laws come…Read More

NJEdReport  added a nice Education Truth Project logo to Sunlight’s research, bringing home the idea that this is a well-funded little dark-money group.  From ETP to the NJPEC to Action Together NJ — all are parts of the NJEA’s vast web of allies.  Don’t be fooled New Jersey!Read More
