Rice: Christie needs to own up and end the blame game

Time for the Governor to take responsibility and stop trying to pass the buck


(Trenton) Following a weekend of continued attempts by the Christie administration to cast blame  and cover up for their own failed actions, instead of taking responsibility for costing New Jersey nearly half a billion dollars in education funding, Newark Councilman Ronald C Rice issued the following statement:

“The Christie Administration has cast a wide net, blaming everyone from mindless drones in Washington to Rahm Emanuel and the Obama Administration itself.  The facts are clear, that the mistake in New Jersey's Race to the Top application originated in the Governor's office and the blame game should begin and end there."
