New Jersey Education Association Executive Director Compensation & Vouchers in the News

Mike Antonucci:

* Rafael Pi Roman, host of New Jersey Capitol Report, discussing school vouchers: "They can't afford to pay, you know that. Some of these parents can't afford to take their child out of these schools."

• Vincent Giordano, executive director of the New Jersey Education Association, responding: "Life's not always fair and I'm sorry about that."
• Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey, on that response: "You know, as Vince drives out of the palace on State Street every day in his big luxury car with his $500,000 salary, I'm sure life's really fair for him.... That level of arrogance, that level of puffed-up, rich man baloney, is unacceptable in this state. He should resign. He should resign today."
• Giordano, replying: "I have no intention of resigning. If he thinks he's going to bully me like he bullies everyone else, he doesn't understand who I am, or how deeply I care about the work I do.... For his abysmal record on education and his hypocrisy in claiming to care about children in urban districts while pursuing policies that have hurt them deeply, I call on Gov. Christie to resign from office immediately.
