Thanks once again to NJEdReport for providing a forum for the discussion of education topics.  Always fair and even-handed, NJEdReport allowed Michael “Hundreds of Millions” Gottesman to express his (usually mendacious) views, and so they allowed Sunlight to rebut him.  Gottesman is a mendacious hypocrite who deserves to have his true nature revealed, and NJEdReport helps…Read More

Thanks to NJEdReport for posting Sunlight’s blog on the walking conflict of interest that is Sean Spiller.  Undeterred by his various conflicts on interest in Montclair, Spiller is now using teachers’ highest-in-the-nation dues to fund his Super PAC and presumably his run for governor in 2025.Read More

Kudos to the Star-Ledger Editorial Board for their scathing criticism of the excessive pay for NJEA leadership.  The Star-Ledger continues to publish well researched, courageous and truthful editorials about the facts of the NJEA leadership’s compensation. The Board drew extensively from Sunlight’s most recent report, which revealed that NJEA leadership pays themselves more than any…Read More

As always, thanks to NJEdReport for highlighting and condensing Sunlight’s recent report on the excessive compensation that NJEA leadership pays themselves.  NJEdReport has a large following, including many teachers, and we hope that these teachers learn the facts about how NJEA leadership are making themselves New Jersey one-percenters on the backs of teachers.Read More

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
