Jews can live anywhere, this busing problem is going to be everywhere there is a large enough Jewish community. 2016 is an election year the Jewish Orthodox voter have to be united and tell the politician that if you want our vote you have to solve the school busing problem and penalize the taking over of elected school Boards. An example, the taking over of a school board, unless criminal charges are filed against board members, will result in residents of the district being exempt of all property taxes and the state must reimburse the municipalities for the loss of tax revenue.

In addition even if charges are filed a plan to return the district to the newly elected school board’s control within a year must be made. Failure to return power to the newly elected board will exempt resident from not only property tax but a reduction of 5% of their income tax per year. So if his taxes was $100.00 he only owes $95.00 The second year he would owe $90.00. A state Monitor can be in place but if he has veto or overriding power the penalties kick in.

If it’s tucked into a Federal appropriation bill it will pass who would oppose a bill saying that a bureaucrat can override an elected board and the penalty is the residents are exempt from paying property tax. Besides nobody reads the bills anyway.
