Christie Appoints Emergency Manager For Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY — Gov. Chris Christie appointed an emergency manager to oversee Atlantic City’s government and shaky finances, an extraordinary state takeover that critics called an abuse of power that could marginalize local elected officials.

Its the best thing that could happen for the taxpayers because Guardian has yet to send layoff notices out after being in office a year and has a $350 million debt to deal with. He was expecting truckloads of money and Gov Christie has run out of patience. It'll be good for Don Guardian who can stay as head cheerleader and bot deal with cuts.Residents in other municipalities hopefully now wont have to bear the burden for increased taxes.

Guardian has worked his butt off to help Atlantic City. His State of the City address pointed out all the progress and new endeavors coming to to City.
Christie was highly criticized for not mentioning AC in his State of the State Address. Now that the City's future is looking good, Christie walks in and takes over.
In my opinion, Christie stepped on all the people who have worked so hard to make a change just so he can take credit for the improvements.
It's all about Christie! He cares nothing about the NJ tax payers. He wasted $24 million on the special Booker election and look at all the millions of expenses he has made us pay for all his trips, security and lawyers.
God forbid this guy ever gets to be president. He is an embarrassment to NJ and would be the kill shot to our country.

The kill-shot is already in office for this country. Remember he still has to 2016, so who ever gets elected might not even have country to preside over!
