Has anyone else noticed how abnormally vocal Steve Santarsiero has been with his opposition to ending the PA-NJ tax accord? He’s issued press releases, tweets, petitions, etc. Since it’s very unlike Santarsiero to be out front on basically any issue, we did a little digging. It turns out that Santarsiero makes a lot of money off of the tax accord. Santarsiero claimed $837,882 in income on his financial disclosure report from Pepper-Hamilton LLP in Princeton, New Jersey.

By Mary Clare Reim In response to a growing student debt problem, some policymakers have proposed making community college free at the point of delivery, financed entirely by taxpayers.[1] President Obama has suggested making “two years of college…as free and universal in America as high school is today.”[2] Yet such proposals are problematic for a number of reasons, not the least of which is subjecting community colleges, considered by many today to be an affordable option, to the same types of subsidies-induced inflation endemic at four-year institutions. Taxpayer-financed “free” community college also prefers the community college sector over for-profit and... Read more →
