On Higher Education and New Jersey

New Jersey has some of the best public and private colleges and universities in the nation but somehow it has the difficulties of retaining the best high school grads to study at home.

I know why. Living in New Jersey is expensive and higher education is as expensive as well. It seems affordable for the few. The rest of us will seek comparable out-of-state schools for our sons and daughters. Good grades seem not enough for scholarship in NJ schools.

Mr. Corzine, together with his friends and foes in Trenton, should invest in our children and divert all those 'christmas gifts' fund to our children's future. In addition to lottery as source of fund, I suggest privitizing some roads, air spaces, and radio bandwiths.

I am not an expert on this matter. But these are thoughts that comes out of head at this moment. They may be foolish ideas.
