New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s proposal to cap school-superintendent salaries will affect many of the affluent suburban communities that helped the first-term Republican oust Democrat Jon Corzine last year.
Christie plans to hold the salaries of superintendents to no more than $175,000 a year, the same as the governor’s, beginning Feb. 7. Of the 205 school chiefs who earn more, 126 are in communities that gave Christie pluralities in 2009, state education and voting data show.
