Posted On06/14/2022 byAs usual, NJEdReport has added to and improved upon Sunlight’s work. As usual, we appreciate NJEdReport helping to spread the truth about Mark Weber and NJPP. Too bad the New Jersey media takes Weber at face value.Read More

Posted On05/23/2022 byOnce again, thanks to NJEdReport for amplifying Sunlight’s blog on a Harvard study that showed that New Jersey had among the most school closures and that minority kids suffered the most.

NJEdReport Reposts Sunlight’s Blog on the Cornavaca-NJEA-Murphy Revolving Door
Posted On05/18/2022 byThanks to NJEdReport for reposting Sunlight’s blog on the special-interest revolving door from the NJEA to Gov. Murphy’s administration back to the NJEA.

Posted On04/27/2022 byThanks once again to NJEdReport‘s boosting Sunlight’s work. Sunlight hopes that NJEdReport readers will take a moment to look at our short blog.

NJEdReport Posts Sunlight’s Blog on NJ’s Outmigration Problem and Gov. Murphy’s Inaction
Posted On03/18/2022 byThanks once again to NJEdReport for posting Sunlight’s blog on Outmigration. Another study, another last-in-the-nation ranking for NJ. But Gov. Murphy has studiously ignored the issue. His mind is apparently focused elsewhere: on a possible run for the White House. Too bad for NJ!Read More
NJEdReport Posts Sunlight’s Blog on More Biased Research from Weber, Baker and NJ Policy Perspective.
Posted On02/15/2022 byThanks to NJEdReport for posting Sunlight’s blog and adding a great picture (from the Academy Award-winning movie “Cabaret”) of cherry-picking – which is Weber and Baker go-to method of “research.” Weber and Baker predetermine their conclusion – in this case and very often the supposed need for more education spending by the state – and…Read More

Posted On02/07/2022 byThanks to the Star-Ledger for publishing Sunlight’s op-ed on a new kind of “dark money” in NJ politics. Traditionally, dark money has referred to secret funders of Super PACs (political action committees). Here, we know that the NJEA funded its Super PAC, Garden State Forward, with $42 million, but because of inadequate disclosure, we…Read More
NJEdReport Highlights Sunlight’s Response to Gov. Murphy’s Inaugural Address
Posted On01/20/2022 byThank to NJ Education Report for highlighting Sunlight’s response to Gov. Murphy’s inaugural address. We think NJEdReport plucked out the right lines. Like Politico‘s Matt Friedman (also quoted by NJEd Report), we question whether Murphy will reduce property taxes, and even if he does, he will likely raise other taxes to help him do it….Read More
