A vote to delay?

As of now, it appears that the governor’s school-funding plan is not going to pass in the state Senate. This is not a bad thing — and not because the plan is flawed. It is because the plan is being rushed, because officials from school districts like South Brunswick, which appear to gain new funding, are concerned what will happen down the line. And because the concerns of urban educators need to be addressed — will this plan result in reduced funding?

Should the plan go down, I am hoping the governor will put it back on the table and the state Legislature slows the process down and answer the questions.
