Cory Booker has a problem. The 41 year old second term mayor of Newark, New Jersey finds himself short $70 million. He doesn't want to increase property taxes, they've already gone up 19% in the past 5 years! The city of Newark is no longer buying toilet paper for municipal bathrooms. They are also not buying gas for city vehicles unless absolutely necessary. (?) There is the possibility that up to 350 police and firefighters will be laid off this year in Newark. Where's the money going?
So, for the near future, we can expect Newark employees to bring their own toilet paper to work - I hope.
