In NYC the mayor cut the Police budget by ten per cent transfering the funding to youth services. Who knows what will happen at the next riot. Will they try to stop it or will they sit on thier hands like in Crown Hieghts. There is a big difference between Camden NJ and NYC. Camden has the state and federal government help bail it out. NYC the last time it was broke the when the city wanted a bailout the headlines read DROP DEAD neither the state nor the fed wanted to help. The Financial Control Board will take over and determine the budget. Cops, fire fighter and other civil servants will be fired. The middleclass will move out and we will be back to the 70s & 80s when crime was skyrocketting. Businesses will move and jobs will be scarce so tax revenue will be low and will be unable to pay for social services resulting in riots.
