As much as I gripe about phone blogging, this is amazing technology. I’m currently riding right seat in an Audi somewhere outside of Hamilton, Texas, with Mike the Musicologist at the wheel. As I said previously, I expect to be busy over the next few days, but I wanted to note this story:
Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s administration has seized power in Atlantic City, taking control of the assets and major decision-making in the struggling seaside gambling resort that is half a billion dollars in debt.
…
“This is an example of what this country could turn out to be under Chris Christie and President-Elect Donald Trump, taking away our rights and sovereignty,” said Steve Young, an Atlantic City community activist. “Who do we talk to as residents? What will government look like with the state of New Jersey overpowering the residents? We are headed for some bad times, and your city could be next.”
Hey, I don’t much like Chris Christie (and I think I’ve made that clear) but: “your city could be next”? If your city is half a billion dollars in debt and depending on a dying industry, maybe it should be next.
