As the candidate, I would be biased in my response. So, I'll let this respected statewide Reporter from The Star Ledger share his comment on our race in the link below:

This sheds some light on the Record's recent article laying credit to our Fair School Funding Plan described in this PATCH article, taken from NJSpotlite. The presentations collectively quantify the $160+ Million dollars (annually) that we are sending away from our District to cities like Hoboken. Additionally, qualified with why - that unlike Hoboken, none of our Districts are considered an Abbott District. This needs to change.

Several dozen challenging candidates are willing to take on this Supreme Court decision; whereas our opponents are comfortable lying over and not trying.

I reached out to the Teaneck Board of Ed this past meeting to endorse this plan just like these towns have: Fort Lee, Fair Lawn, Ramsey, Saddle Brook, Closter, Northvale and more..., because it helps our kids and taxpayers. It is fair to all.

Remember this. When School bus routes in Teaneck are not funded, yet Union City can build a $250 MILLION high school, or in Fort Lee where a janitor's closet is turned in to a kindergarten classroom. Leaving the only remedy to ask the tax payers to pass a $30 MILLION referendum to pay for Band-Aid solutions, which means our taxes will go up yet again while giving a blank check to Abbott Schools like Hoboken.

Wish you both a good result next week; Fort lee needs new ideas and representatives that really care to change what is to a better result for all of us. TY

Good luck to Jensen and Aslanian. We really need a change in this District!

Voters of District 37 have a golden opportunity tomorrow to vote for some real representatives, bright, articulate, well grounded in the community and caring. Keith has served in the Military, is a successful business man, personable and accessible. He and John Aslanian will provide a new ,energetic approach to State Government.
I 'm Independent ,and will be voting for them.Check them out and please support them.

Mr. Jensen, there is more to governing than being a one issue candidate and throwing the words "urban schools" around like a slur. I was a councilwoman in Tenafly during the hard fought battles to rid Bergen County of corruption and there are no State Legislators more honest, and hardworking and better able to get laws passed on a RANGE of issues than the LD 37 team there right now. It takes a lot of courage to buck your own party and to fight for EVERYONE you represent once you are elected - not just folks who agree with you on only one issue. The LD 37 team has consistently been there for every citizen in every town in their district. and has passed an incredible amount of legislation helping everyone in the state. You don't consistently win over 70% of the vote by catering to a few one issue voters. You win by demonstrating broad and effective leadership - winning over Democrats, Independents, AND Republicans the way Senator Weinberg, Gordon Johnson, and Valerie Huttle have done consistently for the past 6 years.

Mrs Weinberg is the only one that bucked her party and opposed Ferriero.The corruption that you speak of was in the DEMOCRAT party. Johnson and Huttle were part of the problem in that they supported the status quo and benefited politically from Ferriero's reign, The reason they have been successful in the past is that LD37 was a Democratic stronghold for many years, People are starting to wake up and disregard party labels. The old team is out of ideas and are standing in the way of getting NJ back on its feet.We don't need any more unfunded mandates or laws that are stunting economic growth in the state.. .
Also as a former elected official.do you really believe that to support lowering taxes by equal distribution of state funds is not a major issue that affects local budgets ,impacting quality of life for residents?As for leadership, have you spoken with Keith Jensen and John Aslanian? they both are bright,articulate solid citizens that created their own successful businesses. Keith is a veteran who served in a leadership role in the military and desires to give back to his community.Please consider this when voting tomorrow.

Dear Mr. Goode, Lying about who Huttle and Johnson supported is slander of the worst kind. http://www.bluejersey.com/diary/3975/ I was there and know firsthand that Gordon Johnson and Valerie Huttle stood shoulder to shoulder with Senator Weinberg in her fight against pay-to-play corruption. I know firsthand because I documented it every step of the way and I have proof. In fact - you can find my detailed blog diaries here: http://www.bluejersey.com/diary/17779/rabbit-season-6-years-later. Gordon Johnson and Valerie Huttle were essential to the fight Senator Weinberg waged - and won against corruption in Bergen County - which is why many Republicans as well as Independents respect all three incumbent legislators.

As for the simple 9-9-9 style "solution" for school funding, in Tenafly, and many other wealthy suburbs where the schools are good, the property taxes are high not because of a state legislator able to get money or not, but because of what the taxpayers want for their school. In Tenafly, council members who attempted to cut taxes by going after school budget issues were basically run out of town. Wealthy residents who can easily afford high taxes - will spare no expense on their children's schools regardless of the wishes of the less affluent families in those towns. Unfortunately, in some towns, keeping taxes high is a form of gate-keeping. Assuming that if the state gives your town more money for schools that property taxes will go down is just naive. It really depends on what the local school board decides to spend money on. The elected Governing body has to go along with it and has NO say in how two thirds of the property taxes get spent.
Keith may be a nice guy, but it sounds like he should be running for the local school board - rather than for Assembly.

Ms Hoerniein,Please don't resort to name calling ,can't you discuss things rationally? Again I say the corruption you speak of is DEMOCRAT corruption. Joe Ferriero was elected chairman (first term ) by a unanimous vote of the BCDO (I was there). Johnson and Huttle did not dissent. There was no lies in my comment. when they ran ,they received and used BCDO funds for their campaign.
If they stood ".shoulder to shoulder with Senator Weinberg in her fight against pay-to-play corruption" how come pay to play still exists? The Dems had complete control of the state during Codey and Corzine so why didn't your hero legislators get it done. ?
