Governor Christie gave
Pearson Education, Inc. an $80 million tax break to move offices from Bergen
County to Hoboken, even though Pearson is making a killing off its high stakes
testing contracts with states like New Jersey and New York.
And what did Pearson do? They
turned around and moved 650 jobs to New York!
Pearson is one of the private
companies that has profited most off of the corporate education reform
movement. They don’t need tax breaks to move offices, especially when those tax
breaks are paid for with continued cuts to public schools.
On May 14th, join
us at the Hoboken Ferry as we protest the high-stakes testing giant’s bad
behavior and the governor who bankrolls it.
