On a related note, send me all the NJ state leg bills you want passed.
I'm making a spreadsheet of bill numbers, whether they're stuck in committee or need a floor vote, which committees they're stuck in and who is on them, news articles explaining why they matter, etc.

this is wild. In her final act in office, Adrienne Adams has gone full NIMBY and now is putting parking over pedestrian safety.
call her office and your local councilmember to express support for Intro 1138!

Have you called Speaker Adams yet today? Tell her why we need universal daylighting, and urge her to bring Intro 1138 to a vote: 212-482-6731
We have just three weeks left to pass universal daylighting — and the biggest thing standing in the way? Daylighting obstructors.
Universal daylighting is simple: clear intersections so drivers, pedestrians, and people on bikes can actually see each other. It saves lives.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

It's kind of bad that my county reports results slower than a private org like AP. Why have a "live" reporting site at all, then?

Dem state senate target list in 2027 needs to include Polistina, Tiver, Bramnick, Bucco, and Schepisi with eyes on Steinhardt, Pennacchio, and Corrado in a real wave year. also if Bob Singer retires I guess Avi Schnall may seek a promotion to the Senate or something like that.
Schlepisi or whatever her name is vulnerable in 2027 too? One of the worst

Once again, high quality empirical studies show that, all else equal:
1) more school funding causes better student outcomes
2) charter schools cause better student outcomes mostly bcs of the extra tutoring they provide, not Market Magic. This is easily replicated in TPS.
So do it.

Republicans obscure correlation & causation. You can't just look at funding go up & test scores not go up, & just decide that funding not cause test scores go up.
Correlation is not causation, & lack of correlation is not lack of causation! E.g., the fucking global pandemic might've had an impact.

NJ Republicans want to destroy our progressive school funding formula, replace it w/ a flat amount of state aid per pupil. Rich suburbs win. The poor lose.
Great article that emphasizes why S1 is good: districts that got richer &/or smaller since the 90s should get less state aid. EZ.
