The New Jersey Education Association’s political action committee announced Monday that they are backing U.S. Reps. Rob Andrews (D-1st Dist.), John Adler (D-3rd Dist.), Frank Pallone (D-6th Dist.), Bill Pascrell (D-8th Dist.), Steve Rothman (D-9th Dist.), Donald Payne (D-10th Dist.) and Rush Holt (D-11th Dist). The group, which pegs its membership at 200,000, also endorsed Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein (D-Middlesex), who is running against state Sen. Tom Goodwin (R-Mercer) in a special election in the 14th Legislative District.

| Name a special interest or Union group and she is with them. Where is she on affordable housing these days? |

Where she's always been -- telling us she is against the new COAH requirements but that she has to abstain or vote for them because otherwise she couldn't be effective for us in the party, yada yada. Of course it is circular logic since she keeps voting against our interests so there's no ability to actually work for us on an issue and cash in on all that political capital she supposedly is getting by voting against her own supposed conscious. |

| Vote for anyone but her this November. Goodwin sounds good to me. |

| I was told that Goodwin will be at the TC meeting on August 23 to bring the TC up to date on COAH and address concerns. I also understand he's looking to have a Q & A session with residents in town concerning the state and COAH. Seems pretty proactive to me. |

The COAH reform bill is stuck in the assembley. The Senate passed the S1 bill by July 1 but it is being held up in the housing committee that Linda Greenstein is a member of. |
