Corzine signals his intention for the SCC

Corzine signals that he won't fight the State Supreme Court and will continue to spend your tax dollars in an ill fated attempt to improve test scores in Abbot school districts by spending money on school construction.
Gov. Jon Corzine yesterday launched an overhaul of New Jersey's $8.6 billion public school construction program, appointing six new directors and a special panel to determine whether the troubled agency in charge of the venture should be disbanded. link
Corzine is expecting
Specific recommendations are to be developed addressing the reorganization of the Schools Construction Corporation, considering such options as creating a new educational facilities authority in the Department of Education or the Department of Treasury, or by enhancing the capabilities of the New Jersey Building Authority,"
I'm willing to bet that after the state pays the $20 billion more that the SCC says it needs to complete it's construction projects that the schools constructed or refurbished have little to no improvement on test scores. Any takers?

Corzine already added salary to SCC.

A good way for test scores to improve in the so-called "Abbott" districts is for the parents to take an interest in their kids' education. The problem is that learning and doing well in school isn't "keeping it real", and in their mind a kid is just in the way anyway. Until that time throwing money at the problem only lines the pockets of city Democrat bosses and machines.
