School funding (Continued from page 4) In the hands of the Legislature With the proposal formally rolled out, it is now up to the Assembly and the Sen- .vte to piece together a bill that would ul- timately put the governor's plan into effect. Corzine has stated that he hopes to have the new school funding formula in place by the end of the current legislative session, because local districts must factor state aid into their budget analyses for the upcoming school year. The proposal has gained cautious sup- Dort from state lawmakers, with a general agreement that a new scheme for state aid distribution has been a long time coming. "A school funding formula is critical not only for the state budget process but [for] our schools. ... About five years of flat aid has taken its toll in school districts," said Assemblyman Bill Baroni (R-14), who sits on the Education Committee. Baroni said he would like to examine the way special-education aid is distrib- uted a little more closely. He noted that while he does not want to rush any legis- lation through, it is the burden of law- makers to keep to a timeline for the sake of local school districts trying to get their budgets together. Sen. Barbara Buono (D-18) said she is approaching the plan with a degree of healthy skepticism, saying that she has seen other attempts to improve the school funding formula come and go. Still, she is -•—v hopeful that this can be the time the state gets it right. "Basically, the way I can summarize my position is [that] while I don't think we're out of the woods yet, this formula, Except Blue Tags & Estate while not perfect, represents long-overdue and significant progress toward more fair and equitable funding of our schools. And in addition to ensuring that education is a top priority, it also makes progress on property tax relief, and that's key," said Buono. She said she was concerned over whether the formula would provide a static adequacy mode over the years, or whether it would change through time. She noted that all things become more ex- pensive over time, and that adequacy should be re-examined year after year. "What is adequate today may not be REENHELD adequate tomorrow. ... We need to spell J E W EL E R S that out in the legislation," Buono said. G She said that Democratic legislators have given a generally positive initial re- sponse, but that lawmakers representing areas with Abbott districts have expressed worry that this will, once the three-year Permit # hold-harmless provision is up, result in a 04267 loss of state funding, www.gmnews.com NS SENTINEL, December 20, 2007 1 9 Great thoughts from celebs Healthy Teeth and Gums for LIFE! on political endorsements Or Edwin Tanpiengio and hi arin^ staff oflu complete demwrv in our NEW stale of the art office lhat is. relaxing and tomforuble.

A landlord can legally ask for lord, so extensive evidence is needed in a maximum of one-and-a-half months' court. "More than likely, the truth doesn't make you win," she said. "It all depends on how the judge rules." Acevedo said that if a yearly lease is not signed, an occupant becomes a month- to-month tenant. A landlord prefers a lease because he is protected by that con- tract. If a verbal lease is agreed upon, the tenant is assumed to be month-to-month, but Acevedo warned of the open levels of interpretation of a contract that is not doc- umented. This includes utilities, which most landlords make the responsibility of the individual renters, or the issue of pets. This also includes association and main- tenance fees at condominium complexes. She said that once a tenant wants to end his lease, he should send a letter one month prior, via regular and certified mail. That way, if the landlord does not sign for the certified mail but the regular mail is not returned, it is assumed legally that he received notice of the tenant's de- parture. Then, by the next month, the landlord would have to refund the security deposit if another tenant is found as a re- placement. Speaking more in depth about security deposits, Acevedo said that if a landlord does not return the money, the tenant can sue for twice the amount plus court costs. Since nowadays the money must be put into an interest-bearing account by the landlord, and the tenant must be notified instead ©f a bath, and save on your energy bill. of the bank's name and account number, the tenant would receive the interest as well.
