NJEA Looks to take back the State Spends Big on Buono Campaign, Tight Legislative Contests
Latest finance reports puts NJEA total above $13M, almost as much as Christie campaign has shelled out
The New Jersey Education Association’s political juggernaut keeps on rolling.
With the latest campaign finance reports in, the teachers union has now topped $13 million in spending on the state elections next Tuesday, easily beating all other special-interest spending and almost matching Gov. Chris Christie’s campaign itself, according to the state Election Law Enforcement Commission.
The bulk of the money is out of its super PAC, Garden State Forward, which has been active for not only Democratic challenger Barbara Buono, with two television ads on her behalf so far, but also focused on helping Democratic candidates in a handful of legislative races that are considered tight.

The teacher’s union apparently has a grudge against the governor and is willing to deplete their member’s funds for a losing cause. Just the kind of math teachers we need. Great example to pour money into a losing cause just for retribution.
When is he going to start hammering the cops?
