Jersey Jazzman: Low-Information Editorials

Low-Information Editorials

I do not relish being the guy who has to set Tom Moran straight every week. But he really leaves me no choice when he writes pieces like this. I'll keep it short:

- Here are the things you will learn from reading Tom's piece:
  • The salary of the Executive Director of the NJEA, Vince Giordano; you will also read that Moran thinks it's "way too high for a union guy."
  • Giordano apparently has "considerable girth."
  • Giordano drives a "luxury car."
  • The Governor has approval ratings with people who don't like the union, probably because he is always bashing the union.
- Here are the things you will not learn from reading Tom's piece:
  • The comparable salaries of other heads of unions so Moran's readers can make a meaningful comparison.
