When possible, we gladly answer the door, offer a drink, and give what we can.

BUDGET CUTS: Over 160 Lakewood Paraprofessionals Facing Layoffs Under State-Mandated Cuts Letter to the Editor: In one of the recent chain of events occurring at the Lakewood Board of Education, a very devastating piece of news came about when paraprofessionals received RIF (Reduction in Force) notices informing them that they will no longer hold the same positions in the coming school year. Paraprofessionals are core, essential employees who play a very significant role in the classroom, assisting students and teachers. The district currently employs over 160 paraprofessional staff members. The RIF notices came as a result of the state demanding budget cuts, with a specific directive to downgrade the positions of paraprofessionals. Currently, paraprofessionals receive salaries with benefits such as health insurance and pension benefits. Under this new directive from the state, paraprofessionals will be downgraded to part-time positions, which would eliminate health insurance and other benefits for all paraprofessionals. Many of our paraprofessionals are only able to maintain these positions because they receive benefits. If they lose those benefits, it will be unsustainable for them to keep their paraprofessional positions. A Board member stated, “The board members have strongly opposed this directive and feel very strongly that downgrading the compensation of our crucial paraprofessionals would be a severe disadvantage to our students and our district as a whole. The board is hoping and strongly requesting that the state allow their salaries and benefits to at least remain as they are, in order to maintain the excellent quality of education that results from their positions”.

For example, a family of four could qualify for WIC benefits with a total household gross income of $61,050 or less per year.

Does It Still Make Sense to Buy an Electric Car in New Jersey? With gas prices in New Jersey continuing to fluctuate, many drivers are asking the same question: Does it finally make financial sense to switch to an electric vehicle, or is sticking with a traditional gas-powered car still the smarter option? At first glance, electric vehicles (EVs) appear to offer major savings. Charging an EV is generally much cheaper than filling up at the pump, especially for drivers who commute long distances each week. A typical gas-powered vehicle in New Jersey averaging 25 miles per gallon can easily cost thousands per year in fuel alone, depending on gas prices. By comparison, many EV owners report spending significantly less on electricity to travel the same distance — particularly if charging at home during off-peak hours.
