Steve Baker, NJEA Spokesman, on the likelihood of the teachers’ union supporting Democratic Senate President Steve Sweeney:

I don’t want to prejudge anything, but I’d agree I’d be very surprised if he got our support.

The Record also reports on NJEA’s decision to halt all contributions to political candidates while it waited to see who would vote against the reform bill that raised public employees’ contributions to health care and pension premiums. Instead, NJEA “spent its members’ dues on a campaign against Governor Christie’s education policies” that was “fronted by a website MillionairesForChristie.com.”
