Proposed budget in last vote rejected!

The proposed school budget in yesterdays election was overwhelmingly rejected by the Flemington voters. Was this in response to the governors appeals to voters to do so or is there an underlying reason for this and was it truly a anti-teacher response by the voters? I really do not believe it was an anti-teacher position but an anti-tax and enough is enough on spending. I have heard in the news and on radio (101.5) the bull shifting the blame on the teachers for the high costs of the state and local government but no real mention on the very high costs of administration. High salariries and perks for the elite in the education system seems to be tabu yet it really represents the higher ratio of costs. I mean can you really justify a 6 figure salary to anyone inside the education system when teachers and most of us don't even come close? The well off (rich) have convinced many of us to think its the teachers and unions doing to the state when it is them that are abusing the system. How about salary cut, freeze or elimination on our elected officials in the state or school board? Does anyone in the media radio or TV willing to expose the real costs involved and where that money is really going not to mention corruption schemes? No this is not being done so we as individuals must educate ourselves and use the power of our vote & speech (exposure). For those of you normal people among our great state that have been brain washed into thinking our teachers and unions are evil, take care your job maybe next to be targetted by the wealthy of our state.
