I’ve been feeling slightly more cynical about Trenton these days than I would like to admit. The Katie Brennan scandal and the Murphy administration’s jarring silence about it makes my stomach curl.

The “Camden Votes No” campaign is off and running. Camden residents, after years of having virtually no democratic control over their school district, now have a vote. It’s a convoluted vote. A “No” vote returns the school board to an elected board (it is currently appointed) — but that elected board would still be under state … Continue reading Will Camden Vote for an Elected School Board?…
