| CAMDEN, N.J. lays off half of police force and 1/4 of the firefighters |
| 2011-01-18 |
 Apee so summery: One of the most debt ridden and crime filled cities is laying off half the police and 1/4 of the firefighters. Politicians claiming there is no other way with taxes. Usual suspects in the race hustlers field whining about poor and minorities hardest hit. No mention if the union bosses, public pension funds or art school budgets are touched but I would bet hard money they are not, or at least in not a significant way. |

| #4 Christie won't bail them out. He CAN mobilize the National Guard though, if need be. |

| #3 As we all know, there is no where else in the NJ budget to cut. You are right, it is about blackmailing the GOV. |

| #2 One of the most debt ridden and crime filled cities is laying off half the police and 1/4 of the firefighters. Probably clearing out a lot of paychecks to police and firefighters that didn't exist before they got looked at too hard. |
