GSCS MEMBERS OUTREACH NEEDED NOW!Legislation on County schools bills has been scheduled for Assembly votes on Monday, 1-8-07. But, note that the Senate also has scheduled a voting session on the same day. While there are no bills posted yet for a Senate vote, the likely approach will be for the Assembly to pass bills on Monday and then literally ‘run’ certain bills (more controversial, rushed bills such as the county ‘super’ superintendent bills(S10 - A4 in te Assembly]), or the county-wide district bill - S7 [A8 in the Assenbly]-may emerge for a vote this way) across the hall for the Senate to then post those bills for a vote on the same day. Majority of bills – perhaps all - will be publicly scheduled on the Senate board list prior to the voting session; it’s a matter of when, and timing is everything. Do not hesitate to contact Trenton. Many of you helped to slow down these ‘county school’ bills last month. GSCS asks you to let Trenton know your concerns remain strong re S10/A4 and S7/A8 NOW, as it appears that the Statehouse intends to push these bills through this Monday.
Call/email your local legislators, Governor Corzine (609 292 6000), Senate President Codey 609 292 5215 and Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts (609 292 7065) today! For details, click here on ...
