New Jersey teachers should be screened on a regular basis to rate their performance. The state cannot afford to have teachers who are burned-out or incompetent. Today, the Democrats continue to support investments in infrastructure, which Republicans often want to repeal. Democrats support job training, efficient transportation, and public funding of the arts. Republicans, on the other hand, oppose all of these basic necessary investments.
Republicans see job training as an additional unnecessary expense in the budget.
They see funding for public transportation as a burden and have gone so far as to slash funding for Amtrak and other mass transit, therefore being unfair to the New Jersians who go to work everyday in New York City or Philadelphia. Republicans have also made it more difficult to own a car in New Jersey with such high insurance rates. Republicans have also gone so far as to slash funding for the arts and to censor the arts. If left up to the Republicans, New Jersey would be a dull, uneducated state with residents that do not have means to go anywhere. New Jersey Democrats are strong believers in protecting the environment.
