Why did a hardworking Newark dad just contact me?
Because FIVE YEARS AGO, parents asked for help. They're still waiting.
Because Newark Public Schools got $287M total in FEDERAL COVID taxpayer $—$7.5K per student—and STILL he had to pay over $1K out of pocket to Sylvan to help get his son to grade level.
Because 15,803 students were recommended for tutoring.
Just 1,938 actually received it—12%.
Because he did what the system wouldn’t.
WHERE DID THE MONEY GO???

The numbers don’t lie. New Jersey’s school funding formula is out of balance.
Districts paying more in are getting far less back, while others receive dramatically higher funding per student. That’s not sustainable and it’s not fair.
It’s time to reset the formula with a per-pupil baseline that works for everyone.
Saw this ok Facebook, this school funding is seriously screwed up
🚨 HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? More math behind the "Highlands Trap" 🚨
For years, we’ve been told that every town needs to pay its "fair share" for education. But these numbers tell a different story. 📉
In the typical New Jersey town, the state and local taxpayers split the cost of education roughly 50/50. But because the state's funding formula ignores our land-use restrictions while simultaneously cutting our aid, our families are being forced to carry an impossible burden.
Look at the gap:
🍎 Newark City Schools: Only 13% of their budget is funded by local taxpayers.
🏙️ NJ State Average: Most towns pay around 50%.
🏔️ The Highlands: We are paying 60%, 69%, and a staggering 84% of our own budgets
We protect the water for 6 million people in this state. We are legally barred from growing our tax base to protect the towns. So why are our children the ones paying the bill? This is the "Stewardship Debt" that Trenton has ignored for 20 years. We are doing our part. It is time for the State to do theirs
STOP THE TRAP. Demand Highlands Impact Aid Now

@EarthOne_13 @fdondi1@TomPolhaus@RichardHanania Was the 2020 election an anomaly when it comes to how the vote was conducted and were some of the results atypical for a general election such as bellwether county indicators?
@EarthOne_13 @fdondi1@TomPolhaus@RichardHanania You can put your head in the sand and hope it’s not really a problem. Or you can support voter ID and end the doubt.
@EarthOne_13 @fdondi1@TomPolhaus@RichardHanania Here’s 470,000 voter registrations that were removed in GA alone. All those ballots were automatically printed in 2020 and mailed to the registered address. We have no way of knowing how many were used fraudulently in the election. https://t.co/dOVqgtYUI3
