NJ Government: Closed Until Further Notice

Because of a budget dispute, New Jersey’s state parks and beaches are shut down this holiday weekend (to everyone but Governor Christie and his family). Brian asks how this affected New Jersey listeners and asks their opinion on the dispute over funding between the governor and the Assembly speaker.

I live in Jersey City. While the fourth festivities are moving forward, for many LSP is vacation. This is an attack on lower income folks.

@BrianLehrer I don't like Christie, but at least he's showing backbone on an issue that matters. How does this play for gov race?

@BrianLehrer Avoiding shutting down the beaches on July 4 is what drove the entire plot of JAWS. #beachgate #ChrisChristie #july4thweekend
