legislation

go to www.njleg.gov and check out the legislation as it rolls off the presses.  Keep up with the Sweeney bill, and the bills that the gov. supports so strongly for health care payments.  Has Teresa Ruiz put out her tenure bill yet?  Don't the politicians understand that without tenure, abuse of teachers and teacher rights will begin - again?  Any politician or administrator who has a relative who needs a job, will use their influence to take your job and give it to their friends and family despite your proven professionalism.  Tenure protects us from abuse and needless firings.  Who is to say that those who take your place will be better?  Do the legislators even care who is teaching the children?  Your legislators are voting against you.  Why are you voting for them?  Here's what I believe...A vote for me as a teacher, is a vote for you -legislators.
