April 4, 2010 (Kearny, NJ) Incumbent candidate Bernadette McDonald has taken the lead in our Kearny Board of Education poll. The lead however has come under attack by supporters of John Munro who contend that the number of votes cast in a span of two hours on Easter Sunday is evidence of vote tampering.
KOTW recognizes that our Polling is not exactly scientific. Someone who wants to bypass our one vote per day policy can with a little effort. Even without bypassing our one vote per day policy, individuals can vote more than once by visiting the site everyday or by using a second computer on the same day.

April 4, 2010 (Kearny, NJ) Who would have known that a poll on "Who's Your First Pick for Kearny Board of Education?" would have generated such a response from our readers. Ironically, KOTW's prior polls have generated as much interest as school board elections: almost none. This year however it appears that the school board election will be generating a lot more voter participation than usual. If our Kearny Board of Education poll is an indicator, a lot is at stake in April 20th's Kearny School Board Election.
Accusations are flying about how Bernadette McDonald got a flurry of votes on Easter Sunday to pull out a victory in our poll. What matters is not our unscientific poll but how many registered voters are motivated to come out and cast a vote. The Superintendent of Election voting machines are not as easily bypassed as KOTW's mechanism for trying to limit individuals from voting one time per day. It does give you some food for thought about how the old mechanical voting machines were much harder to tamper with than the modern computer versions. Although McDonald supporters obviously find a way to bypass our "one vote a day" system, McDonald supporters may not have been the only ones to put in a couple extra votes for their favorite candidate. This is Hudson County after all. As former Governor Brendan Byrne joked that he wanted to be buried in Hudson County so he could vote when he was dead.

March 31, 2010 (Harrison, NJ) Harrison Public School Superintendent James Doran announced that he is seeking to cut the school budget by 1.6 million in the 2010-11 school year. The Harrison Board of Education has only approved the cutting of $800,000 leaving another $800,000 cuts to be made. Superintendent Doran blames Governor Christie for cutting Harrison's aid. Governor Christie cut the Town of Harrison the amount of the excess surplus that the Harrison Board of Education had above the 2% surplus allowed by state guidelines. Therefore, Harrison may have surplus money to make up the funds cut by Governor Christie.
The Kearny school district has a budget hearing tomorrow, April 1, 2010. There are no budget cuts in the agenda despite cuts in Kearny's state aid. The state cuts are being made up by the shifting of surplus budget monies to cover monies withheld by the state.
