 Newark’s Mayor and his “Pay to Play” deals...
Booker's deal where he rented two Newark schools to his friends for a $1.00 a year is an example of Pay to Play at its worst…
…We must be vigilant and never believe the Snake Oil Pitch of the Rhodes Scholar Mayor who promises Newarkers lower taxes, lower crime, lower murders and the end of Pay to Play in Newark…
…Booker wants to privatize Newark's schools using public tax dollars for the benefit of his political friends and contributors. Booker's brothers, as reported in the Star Ledger article have invested in private schools in Newark. It's simply another All in the Family feast. Booker's private school movement, using public school dollars, has as its focus the eventual destruction of public education…
…The intent is to reduce your salaries and benefits. The Bush/Booker connotation is that educators in public schools do nothing. They have no idea how difficult your jobs are. How could they, they were born with silver spoons in their mouths. You and your families are the target, have no doubt. Look what Booker has done to City of Newark employees...
…Newark's Board of Education is the prize for Booker. It's the vehicle to serve Booker's friends and political contributors not Newark’s children or public education. We must not let it happen…
