Christie Todd Whitman in Governor's State of the State speeches, early 2000s


On Education: Improve education with choice, charter schools, & character

Families can now opt to send their kids to one of over 60 charter schools. Others can take advantage of our school choice program. Our schools need to instill values that are timeless. We have to teach our kids values like respect and responsibility. Let’s choose character education programs and make them available to every school district.

On Environment: Protect clean water via watershed management plans

We know that clean air is invaluable, and we must safeguard it. We know that clean water is priceless, and we must protect our watersheds. Unfortunately, as New Jersey has poured more concrete & cut down more woodlands, we have put watersheds at risk. The State has set up a process to establish watershed management plans.
