Gov. Christie to restore aid to struggling cities (Trenton, Camden: school, upkeep)

[JERSEY MAN]

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie is promising to sign a bill that will restore $139 million in transitional aid to struggling New Jersey cities following the Senate’s passage of the measure, 35-4, on Thursday.


If your going to send out STATE aid how about sending some to the suburban towns also. I guess the Abbott Aid isn't enough. Most of the people in my town had their property tax bill go up over a thousand bucks due to the massive education and municipal cuts. If you think the residents in the urban towns are going to vote republican you are smoking too much weed.

Camden Nj needs aid the most out of all the other cities in the state.

They wouldn't need it if the residents went to school, worked, and stopped having kids they can't afford.
Now they're getting more! Unreal.

Now now... Still I hate the way most of my tax money is going to places I'll never travel to when there is so much repair needed in my local community, especially to streets and the need for upkeep.
