ReplyDeleteVery good. The state had no viable argument. Lakewood is zoche to have Prof. Tractenberg representing the kids with me. The matter will go to the NJ Supreme Court, probably as of right if the panel is not unanimous, no matter who wins. You never know what the state will do though. They did not ask for certiorari on our 2023 win and the Appellate Division ruling became the law of the case.

"Murphy is ‘asking for answers’ from Israel on why 14-year-old from N.J was killed". Hmm. I think maybe that 14 year old was hanging out in a dangerous area. I wouyld like to ask Murphy if he has exporessed concedrn about the hostages who have been languishing in the dungeons of Hamas since Oct 7, or is that just so last year?
ReplyDeleteNo, he hasn't. And no, it isn't.
DeleteIf a 14 year-old murdered a cop in Newark, he needs to be held responsible. If a 14 year-old tried to murder in the Holy Land, he needed to be held responsible. In the latter case, he was held responsible.
How much money will trump make me lose this week? Oh, but at least he's good for Israel...What's that? He slapped a major tariff on Israel even though they removed all tariffs on US products? Oh well, I'm sure he has a good reason for it.
ReplyDeleteSo wanted pro-toeiva, pro-abortion, pro-Hamas Kamala Harris. Stop kvetching. And that is besides the fact that the Republicans and TRUMP are working on passing ECCA which will help ALL YIDDISHE schools
DeleteFirst you guys say he's "the most pro Israel president in the history." Now you're reduced to stammering, "well, he's better than Harris!" Shkoyach.
DeleteYou had a near free lunch for too long already https://nypost.com/2025/04/07/opinion/how-trumps-economic-shake-up-could-pay-off-big/
DeleteAh, when Democrats raise taxes it's evil, now that Trump is doing it - much more than any other president in my lifetime - it's all wonderful. So glad we're consistent.
DeleteAvi Schnall calls out the state monitors
ReplyDeleteHow about the tuition scam that was pulled on Lakewood that never came
Of course he called out the school monitors as the school monitors publicly said they want Inzelbuch to be fired so they can get a cheaper lawyer . Truth is Inzelbuch runs the entire BOE and the members on the BOE do nothing and let Inzelbuch do it all so yes he is worth the money. He isnt a typical BOE lawyer.
DeleteState monitor is a part time job.
ReplyDeleteGood salary
So the tariff announcement made the stock market tumble 13%, but because it regained 3%, people are calling the strategy a success.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, there is way too much short-term thinking involved in this issue. The danger to the country is not merely economic. If these tariffs work, America is no longer a preferred trading partner to all of these countries. America is the same as any other place. If that happens, much of America's ability as a superpower evaporates. Especially if the aid America distributed was stopped.
How shortsighted and stupid of the supporters of this knee-jerk 'fairness' doctrine.
Just the opposite,fool.AI will make most of the population miserable & redundant.Unless industry is majorly wrested away & brought back.By hook or by crook.
DeleteI'm sure the population isn't going to be miserable as the 10 year yield spikes, their stocks are down, and a recession is coming, threatening their jobs. Great fix, doc!
Deletethe masses ain't got that stuff to begin with.They chose a generation ago not to invest in potential enemies.
DeleteUnlike
Btw there is an easy solution.Relocate to the US.
"the masses ain't got that stuff." Just how much ignorance can you pack into a few words? The "masses" have mortgages (correlates heavily to treasuries), more than 60% of Americans own stocks, and they are all dependent on the jobs market in one way or another.
Delete"Relocate to America?" I'll get right on that, and let you know if 5 years how it worked out. Whoops, Trump just reversed tons of tariffs, so much for putting in the money to relocate. You have to be a fool to put down millions on his daily tariff whims.
You're projecting your faddish errant lifestyle
DeleteWhy doesn't Lang just forget about it. Nice guy but nobody realy cares. Lakewood voters deserve the trash they voted in
ReplyDeleteSecond day in a row you 'report' the markets roaring back to life, only to end disastrously...
ReplyDeleteThe State wanted to say that we had have done everything possible in Lakewood to prove the formula is unconstitutional as applied. In fact, Judge Smith, who was on the 2023 panel asked why should he not defer to the Department of Education since they are the experts. Prof. T. answered that since we already got the T & E ruling (2023) and the state did not appeal it, than Lakewood has the same status as the former Abbott districts and the burden shifts. It's like the judge said, who happened to award us the victory on T & E, that we have not done everything to reduce transportation cost. There is no such thing as doing everything! Does not matter. The burden of proof should be upon the state.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the State tried to argue that the monitors really just advise. Judge asked him about veto and he agreed. We asked the Court to take judicial notice of what's been reported in the press this year about the monitor.
Joe Strupp's article was what Prof. T. has been saying for a decade. That we are paying for the monitor that the commissioner sent and nothing is being done to fix the finances We asked the Court for the formula to be fixed and to forgive loans
Y'all should have made me CEO back in 2003 when the state played the same game, that the problem was not the formula but courtesy bussing. I remember saying to everyone in the organization that courtesy bussing is just a smoke-screen. The numbers never added up. Same like now. Except now it is not courtesy bussing, but mismanagement. Same with the wealth argument that state used in 2003. It was all a side show. Doesn't matter because the state does not use the same methodology any more to calculate wealth. .
ReplyDeleteI don't see them as being so smart that they were able to play us as chumps for 25 years.
