Ridgewood NJ, On October 16, 1975, New York City was deep in crisis. At 4 p.m. the next day, four hundred and fifty-three million dollars of the city’s debts would come due, but there were only thirty-four million dollars on hand. If New York couldn’t pay those debts, the city would officially be bankrupt.

Phil Muphy may be forced to follow this blueprint  for the coming COVID19 financial apocalypse in New Jersey.

The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness warns about COVID Disinformation ,unless of course you are CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS/NBC/ or PBS

Ridgewood NJ, a reader stated to obvious , “There still seems to be a significant amount of misunderstanding among the general public which, I believe, is mostly due to the way in which they consume their news.

Remember, we are in an election year, which has really ratcheted up the Trump Derangement Syndrome level. Otherwise, you watch Fox, which is really the only right-leaning TV news broadcaster, which does the opposite.”
