“IT WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR HOMESTEADERS—BUT I DON’T THINK THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ALLOW THAT.”

Newark NJ is trying to sell the idea of a “teachers village” where people (I guess the public employees) that work in Newark can re-colonize it with “legitimate” consumers (I don’t consider public employees legitimate consumers in such a case; they take much more than they’ll ever contribute). As they are having Trayvon demonstrations (blocking traffic intersections) in that area, I don’t imagine they’ll get many takers.

People in the Newark area know there is nothing safer between you and Newark than a fast-moving moat...

I really don’t see what difference having a republican mayor would have made. The white citizens with gumption were already leaving in the fifties. The riots would have happened no matter what the party of the mayor.

Welkome to the new Amerika. Then again, the libtards don’t really care about the people they destroy.

the bankruptcy is not yet filed. It has been passed to the governor for approval. That will “take a few days”

So , it seems negotiations are still underway.

The good part is that the michigan unions some of whom stole my retirement funds, are getting the treatment as all other creditors. ..... pennies on the $$$

Homesteaders? Ask yourself: Would you farm land that’s experienced a century of heavy metal air pollution?

Oh, and please stop shouting. It’s rude.

Not surprising. They didn't want the AZ Cards, either. LA has some class. They want a team that reliably does better than 3-13.

And that will be the mantra for every big democrat-infested run for fifty years or more by liberals, metropolis going broke across this country.

I'm pretty sure this won't be the last Liberal Democrat run city to go under.

The public worker defined benefit funds are mathematically impossible to fund.

I saw something about that on the news. Seemed like a rather odd venue for a Wild West museum.

Put in some casinos and a light rail system. That always works.

He wanted Harrisburg to be known as “the gateway to the West”. Don’t think about the matter of it being about 165 miles from Atlantic City, NJ.
