Eduction funding cuts for jersey?
Only about 1200 state jobs are going to be lost so far, your right, he is doing a good job.

$820 million in cuts to school funding, $445 million in financial support to municipalities, $175 million in aid to colleges and universities, and a $3 billion payment from the state pension fund. Here are five ways the Christie's budget can affect you:
â?˘ Property tax rebates are being cut 75 percent. And donâ??t look for a check in the mail â?? the money will come as a credit on property tax bills in May 2011.
â?˘ A reduction in state aid to municipalities and school districts by more than $1.2 billion in total. If Gov. Christie doesnâ??t get new laws limiting property tax increases, local government may raise the tax â?? or drop services and lay off workers.
â?˘ One group who will have to dig deeper to fund their prescriptions is seniors. Co-pays on name-brand drugs could increase from $7 to $15, in addition to a $310 deductible.
â?˘ Student financial assistance would be cut $15.2 million. Tax credits for high-tech businesses will be cut in half, to $30 million. Few of the 2,112 line items in the budget were not touched.
â?˘ Long-term, the calls for public employee pension reforms and push for laws allowing towns and school districts to get the upper hand on employee unions could cut property taxes.
