Two views of Christie’s new anti-blight plan for Trenton

    New Jersey Governor Chris Christie this week turned his attention to Trenton, announcing an initiative that entails bulldozing 500 abandoned properties, as well as various measures intended to safeguard the city. 

    Trentonian columnists L.A. Parker and Jeff Edelstein have been covering the Capitol City for a long time, and have differing views of the Governor’s announcement. They spoke with WHYY’s Dave Heller.
