LEA leaders overreached and tried to play the victim card on Chapter 78…
From the NJSBA’s monthly pamphlet:
Asked and Answered: How to Prepare for Bargaining
Health
Insurance at Issue: The vast majority of districts in or entering
contract negotiations are past the “sunset” date of the mandated employee
health care contribution provided for in the P.L. 2011, Chapter 78. Thus, it is very likely that the union will
propose a reduction in those contributions.
NJSBA data shows most districts are maintaining tier four contribution
levels, but the board must be prepared for the union in case the issue is
brought to the table.
Emphasis on: “NJSBA data shows most districts
are maintaining tier four contribution levels,”
LEA leaders tried to play the victim card when in reality
most districts maintained tier four contribution levels. LEA leaders were handing out flyers on back
to school nights citing Chapter 78.
LEA leaders would not happy unless than they contributed nothing towards health insurance. Actually that wouldn't make them happy either. When they contributed nothing towards health insurance, they found other things to complain about.

misinformation:
The Lodi taxpayers have been very generous to the
LEA.
Teachers should be blaming their union leaders for issues they
have had with prior contracts. Too many
union leaders have been more concerned with using negotiations for their
self-interests (salary guides designed for them, largest stipends, jobs for relatives, special privileges, etc.)
than the interests of the teachers.
Too many LEA leaders have enriched themselves while keeping other teachers down.

“What are your thoughts on borrowing for basic services?”
This question was posed by “Americans for Prosperity”
referring to an article about Paterson.
For years, the Lodi mayor and council have been
borrowing for basic services. They are
bonding for items that most believe would be covered by an annual budget.
The Borough’s debt is the size of a year’s budget. The mayor and council’s behavior is reckless
and irresponsible.
The bonding ordinances posted below are approved annually
by the Lodi mayor and council.
