And drew a protest is planned there tonight. Thats right, renee. In just about an hour parents and students plan to fill the streets around here to complain about what they think is a lack of fair funding for the school here. It comes on the same day the mayor tried to prove his plan is the best one for fixing the entire citys money issue. Michaelnut nutter began with an admission about the past few years. Many of our children have gotten a bad deal a raw deal all the way around. He wants 105 million budget plan for education approved which comes with a tax increase for average homes about 100 a year.

Students can enter the Student Speak contest for video or essay on the importance of fair school funding. Some students said they hope it can amplify their voice in the political conversation among adults. The Mayors Office also spent time going through 12 other proposals to get schools the money they need. Its not that these are, you know, all horrible ideas and no one should look at them. Its just that they dont get the district what it needs. If this plan and the governors proposal for hundreds of millions of dollars are both approved, there is still the question about how to split the money up. When asked if this problem could happen again in a few years, the Mayors Office said state lawmakers need to take a good look at keeping a funding formula. I think youre right, the district will continue to have financial problems. And especially in these neighborhoods, people are worried about how that money is divided between schools.

But now, new information at the Death Investigation of a south jersey hospital ceo and his wife. The couples sons now say theyre offering a 250,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of their parents killers. But investigators have ruled the deaths a murder suicide. Nbc 10s jacqueline london joins us with the unusual battle. Well the sons doubt the prosecutors report that their father killed their mother then himself. Mark sheridan called it quote, a failed investigation. Firefighters found Cooper UniversityHealth Systems ceo John Sheridan and his wife joyce in their burning home in Somerset County last september. Prosecutors say john stabbed joyce in the chest and then stabbed himself before setting their home on fire. The brothers hired their own private investigator to look into their parents deaths last november. Today, they alleged in a letter that the prosecutor jumped to a conclusion that their parents died from a murder suicide then made the evidence fit the theory despite the possibility of a third knife. Authorities also said joyce had blood on her hands but Mark Sheridan said there were no scratches on his father. Now the brothers said in the letter, the singular focus of the investigation was to prove the murder suicide hypothesis rather than determine what happened to our parents when facts were developed that called that hypothesis into question. They were ignored. The Sheridan Brothers say they plan to file a state lawsuit over the cause of death. The Prosecutors Office said in a statement to nbc 10 in light of the repeated statements by members of the sheridan family that litigation is imminent. Further comment would not be appropriate at this time. Jacqueline, thank you. Now to some breaking news. Just one hour ago, the white house announced president obama is removing cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism. Find out exactly how this will change things lets go live to nbc 10 National Correspondent steve handlesman in washington to sort it out for us. Steve . Jim, thanks. Good afternoon, this is the next move by president obama in his effort to normalize relations between cuba and the United States over the objections of a decreasing minority of americans and lawmakers here on capitol hill. This particular step involves reporting to congress that an investigation ordered found no reason for cuba to remain on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Nations like iran. Part of that determination, the a. P. Reports is cuban assertion that it will not begin to support states that support terrorism, will the no support terrorist groups on its own. But most analysts have said for years that cuba has a number of problems, has a number of political and not only relations with the neighbors that are troublesome politically, but human rights problems within the island nation, but that it does not support terror in this hemisphere other than backing the government of venezuela, which some feel is a terroristic government. But this will be a done deal. Congress will be informed that cuba will be scratched from that list. And that is another move by president obama to normalize relations between our nation and that communist nation. Lawmakers would have to lift the sanctions. And theres no indication whatsoever that thats imminent any time soon. Back to you. Thanks for the update steve, we appreciate it.
