To the Editor:

I am very upset about the latest decision by Gov. Chris Christie (to use state loans and other funds for an Atlantic City casino district revival.) How about you?

According to him, we do not have any money. He’s often said that the state is “broke.”
We don’t have money for education, for

municipalities, for seniors, for the poor, for woman’s health, for higher education, etc. But we have a quarter of a billion to bail out the casinos.

I guess New Jersey is not really broke after all!

Of course, I do realize that if the state doesn’t have the money, Christie will, once again, borrow it. He has already borrowed millions and millions of dollars for his pet projects, but we never hear about that, do we?

When our state bond rating was lowered this past week, look who he blamed (Democrats in the Legislature). Bond ratings are adjusted according to the state’s financial standing right now. They are not based on what might happen 20 years from now.

All of these people who still support Christie in the polls need to wake up and smell the coffee. I don’t know who these folks are, but they need to pay attention before it is too late.
