The town I grew up in, Vineland, is one of the districts slated to lose Abbott funding. Here's an article in the local paper & a quote:
http://thedailyjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article? AID=/20050513/NEWS01/505130306/1002 "The criteria for Abbott designation that may be changed, according to the OLS report, include: <snip> The district must have, per capita, property values of at least 3 percent below the state average." My guess is this is the rationale behind removing Long Branch. It's funny to read the article and the scramble that these 13 towns are making to either change the rules or make themselves claim poverty. I mean, c'mon: Jersey City & Hoboken are Abbott districts?!? --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "Tyler, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tomorrow is the 8th anniversary of the decision.
