Last week, the New Jersey Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee considered Assembly Bill 1216, legislation that would increase the penalty for possession of a \”firearm\” on the grounds of an educational institution, raising it from a third degree crime to a second degree crime. This committee passed this unnecessary legislation by a 7 to 4 party-line vote.

– by Dan Weber – The latest actions by New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg are a great example of how Liberals and those who want the government to control our lives really think. For them, the facts don’t count – the only thing that matters is that we conform to their ideas of what a perfect society should be like.

Pennsylvania teachers make an average of $84,000 per year and do not have to pay a portion of their salary to health insurance. Yet, they are going on strike, for the second time this year, and one student has had enough.

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis announced the result of last week\’s balloting — nearly 90 percent of its 26,502 members voted to authorize a strike —and called it \”an indictment of the state of the relationship between the management of CPS and its largest labor force members.\” State law requires 75 percent approval.

Teachers are upset that Mayor Rahm Emanuel canceled last year\’s raise and that they\’re being asked to work longer days without what they consider to be an adequate pay increase. Lewis said other key issues include class size and resources.

A strike wouldn\’t be called until the beginning of the next school year, but union leaders could do so without another vote. They say holding the vote now instead of later gives the union added leverage at the bargaining table. It also allowed 1,500 retiring teachers to vote.
