Amidst the name calling and theatrics swirling around Chris Christie's line-item vetoes, how about some real-world details? Take, for example, this AP piece noting that Jersey's cities, already on the ropes in varying degrees, are in for even tougher times. How tough?
New Jersey's struggling municipalities are out $139 million in state aid that was promised - and in some cases awarded - before Gov. Chris Christie vetoed the appropriation in this year's budget.
Christie wiped out all but $10 million from the program that helps cities and towns through extraordinary hardships like increased foreclosures, plummeting real estate values and an abnormally high number of successful tax appeals.
Hey, Camden Mayor Dana Redd and Newark Mayor Cory Booker - enjoy that. |
