We could fix this without raising taxes if it was done in a better way. But they’re looking at it just to put themselves in a position for tax increases because, I think, that’s all this administration talks about is raising taxes. ow.ly/bJIu50w2ShW

.@PaulASarlo did a great job with the 3rd party administrator bill. This year’s 4% avg reduction in healthcare premiums is just the beginning of hundreds of millions of dollars in savings on prescription & medical payments ow.ly/vCqQ50w4f9Y

We can save $1.7B a year for property taxpayers – $500 a year for the average residential homeowner – with the @Path2ProgressNJ reforms. It’s a plan that properly balances the needs of taxpayers with our obligations to public employees & retirees. ow.ly/Udhx50vWxOb

This one is personal. State-funding for extraordinary special education is going to be better for students, parents, local taxpayers and school districts!

We have some of the best special education programs in the country, providing those with intellectual & developmental disabilities environments in which they can thrive. Just as these students have unique needs, they also can create unique funding challenges for their districts.

New Jersey desperately needs structural reforms to put our state on a path toward fiscal responsibility and stability. That's why @NJBIA is supporting first round of #P2PPackage bills by @path2progressnj. Read about our position. njbia.org/njbia-supports-fir…

In 2017 the SHBP adopted certain cost saving measures which the SEHBP did not. Among other things, the reforms have helped the SHBP premiums stabilize, while School Employee premiums continue to rise, costing employees and the state more and more each year.

This will be especially beneficial to the young, newly hired state employees!

In addition, public employers would be required to offer “bronze” plans to employees with zero premium payments. While this would reduced coverage, it would offer public employees an option to have health insurance without recurring deductions from their paychecks.

Hearings on whether a special needs child should be sent out of district can go on for years, meanwhile the child is not receiving the services THEY need! @path2progressnj would put a system in place to ensure they are carried out within a 60 day timeline #SpecialEducationWeek

An @NJBIA analysis today puts New Jersey on a "Financial Cliff" due to the past 10 years of budget increases. In that time, NJ's debt has ballooned by 382 percent. @NJBIA continues to call for reforms and no new or increased taxes in the FY2020 budget. njbia.org/njbia-analysis-of-…
