The Lt. Governor oversees the New Jersey Partnership for Action (PFA), the State’s four-pronged comprehensive economic development strategy. Designed to serve businesses of all sizes and development stages, the PFA is a public-private approach to economic development and the starting point for all initiatives, policies, and efforts to grow New Jersey’s economy and create quality, sustainable jobs in our communities. The PFA is comprised of the Business Action Center, which reports directly to the Lt. Governor and provides the business community with a single point of contact; the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, serving as the state’s “bank for business”; Choose New Jersey, an independently funded and operated 501(c)(3) business-attraction and lead-generation organization that markets the state; and the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, which coordinates with New Jersey’s institutions of higher learning to prepare an educated workforce. The Lt. Governor also chairs the Red Tape Review Commission, which is engaged in an ongoing review and reform of the State’s regulatory process.

As the Secretary of State, Lt. Governor Guadagno is New Jersey’s chief election official, oversees promotion of the state’s $40 billion tourism industry, and administers programs related to the arts, culture, and history.
Lt. Governor Guadagno began her public service career as a federal prosecutor with the Organized Crime & Racketeering Strike Force in Brooklyn, New York. She later married and moved to Monmouth County. At that time, Guadagno became an Assistant United States Attorney in Newark. She was awarded the nation’s highest honor for her prosecutions of two separate corrupt public officials. After her federal service, Guadagno served as a ranking member of the State of New Jersey Attorney General’s Office.
In 2001, Kim Guadagno left the public sector to practice law closer to home and became a teacher at Rutgers University School of Law-Newark. She was also appointed to the Monmouth Beach planning board and was elected as a Borough Commissioner in 2005.

As Sheriff, she managed a 650-member law enforcement agency encompassing the county jail, the county 911 communications center, and a law enforcement department of 100 men and women. She left both the Office of Sheriff and her position as a teacher at Rutgers Law School upon becoming Lt. Governor.

League of Women Voters of Ridgewood, hosts anti charter schools discussion on Dec. 9 at the Paramus Public Library
Ridgewood NJ, League of Women Voters of Ridgewood, hosts anti charter schools discussion on Dec. 9 at the Paramus Public Library.
In recent years the league has degenerated in to a left wing lobbyist organization , viewed as nothing more than an out of touch joke by the public .
In a consensus meeting of the League of Women Voters of Glen Rock, Northern Valley and Ridgewood the league looks to uphold the long standing tradition of failure in education .
In what could only be characterized as one of the most one sided biased discussion groups ever held in which the “league of women voters ” attempted to promote the failed status quo and perpetuate the current education system that deprives minorities and poor children of a proper education .
The league looked to perpetuate myths that continue to keep urban children at a significant disadvantage to there suburban counterparts and the myths that someone knows better than the parents of those children on how to educate them .
No surprise that the leagues conclusions all pointed to more money to feed the failed current system and teachers unions and the continued system of treating minorities as second class citizens with very low expectations .
League of Women Voters of Ridgewood, local chapters discuss charter schools

Charter schools – and their shortcomings – were the topic of debate during a recent consensus meeting of the League of Women Voters of Glen Rock, Northern Valley and Ridgewood.
The meeting, which this year took place on Dec. 9 at the Paramus Public Library, is an annual event for individual chapters of the league.
During these meetings, the groups come together to form an opinion on a topic (immigration, Common Core, agriculture, charter schools) that has been assigned to them that year by the League of Women Voters of the United States.
After receiving research materials from the national organization, the individual groups read this material and research on their own. The process, on some occasions, can take several months, and then the individual leagues send their consensus to the state league, which in turn comes up with its own consensus after several months.
