Ed, Obama has cash ($583 million) for Trenton. That kind of money could produce more than 5,200 jobs. Why should the light rail run to the state capital? It’s not necessary. There are buses that travel there. It could be used to remedy homelessness. It is more important to repair city-owned buildings for under wage earners to live in and the city can get a return back. The money would be wasted inappropriately if you give it to the mayor and the governor; they lack the experience. Hopefully the mayor and the governor will see this.

Spending Plan

You want the mayor and the governor to realize it’s a bad idea for them to control large amounts of money? That would be some profound self-realization. —Ed. Note
