See how each seat has a microphone? That is the only way people can hear each other across the table.
kean university named after the (tom) kean family who donated the land. What I don’t understand is that the college is pronounced: keen and the politician is pronounced: cane.
It’s Christie’s NEW JERSEY. Whaddidyouthingwasgoingtohappen?
Dollars to doughnuts the bureaucrat who made this purchase is one of Eric Holder’s people. They are very comfortable squandering other people’s money.
Brings to mind singing around the grand piano in the ballroom of the Titanic as the ship goes down.
The communications goodies for that table could easily cost $100,000.
I’ve seen the contract for a home theater setup around here run over $50K.

If Joe Cryan is against it, it must be the best idea to come along in the state since women's beach volleyball. (I wouldn't be surprised if one of Cryan's buddies lost out on a contract for a table at twice the price.)

The extra $25,000 has to be going to buildings and administrators.
Federal education dollars have made this waste and bloat possible.
And a generation of young Americans will carry the bill to their old age.
When I went to school many of the classrooms were non-permanent structures trailered to the site and they stayed in use for over 20 years. Now even grade schools are getting mall-like atriums. A sign about a recent addition to our rural grade school touted a $7 million dollar budget. Why on earth would they spend that much money on a building when the building has nothing to do with education? The best engineer I ever hired had English as a second language. He wrote beautifully. He spent much of his learning years in a dirt floored hut in Nicaragua with three grades in the same room.
Oak with a cherry veneerr? For 200 k you would think it would be solid cherry.
At least they have the table. Looks quite nice.
Where is the outrage when state schools (UCLA, SUNY Buffalo) (and private schools - but that’s their business) pay Hillary $250,000 to $300,000 (plus first class accommodations)for an 90 minute speech (drivel)?

It helps the “anointed” to feel important as they sit around it. Priceless right?
If you give them money they will spend it.
