New Jersey Governor Christie in Clinton: Education reform a key part of agenda

Walter O'Brien:

Some of Chris Christie's reform agenda has become law, but more work is left to be done -- including education reform, which the governor says is at the top of his agenda for 2011.

Christie discussed that and other topics Tuesday during his 17th town hall meeting at the Clinton Community Center on Halstead Street.

The governor said New Jerseyans are beginning to feel pride again in their state, and that there are some positive discussion topics for the public.

New Jersey has the highest tax burden in the nation, many anti-business regulations and an atmosphere where private-sector jobs are treated like the enemy, Christie said. But, he said, the Legislature is getting serious about passing his many reform initiatives, including property tax reform, education reform and the municipal tool kit.
