Oil-troll Governor wrecks #publictransit and state

The New York Times: "As the state’s government shut down at midnight on Friday, resulting from a budget impasse between Gov. Chris Christie and the Democratic-led State Assembly, more than 50 state parks, historic sites and recreational areas were closed just as vacationers from New Jersey and beyond descended on the parks and beaches for an extended Fourth of July holiday weekend."

The US is going broke subsidizing cars. Oil-trolls are in every corner of government. They will destroy the country for oil profits. A little investment in public transit would save all levels of government many dollars they won't need to take care of cars.

NJ Governor not a friend of #publictransit

The Village Green: ">The state of NJ Transit is so troubling that it is now under federal investigation, suffering the most accidents among the nation’s major commuter railroads. As our Assemblyman John McKeon has stated, “The Governor needs to assume responsibility. He inherited one of the best rail systems in the country and is leaving us with one of the worst.” Commuters, taxpayers, and New Jersey’s economy all deserve better."
