Mayor don guardian held a press conference this morning saying that even though theyre what he calls teetering on the edge they did not want to be the first municipality to default on its debt since fort lee did in the 1930s. Guardian says this will not affect payroll or School Payments but they did as guard onput it have to rummage through the sofa cushions to scrape together this money. Were trying to get through day to day. Weve stop making purchases weeks ago. We certainly havent replaced any staff for any reason through attrition. There is no any additional payroll without undue circumstances and so, yeah, were doing a type where we understand how important these payments are to make. Reporter things are pretty tight around there right now the state senate has passed a takeover plan supported by governor Chris Christie but guardian is standing his ground against it saying his city would be completely shut out and not have what he calls a seat at the table. Now the state assembly has its own plan that would give Atlantic City two more years to get its financial situation in line. Now, that could come up for a vote on thursday. Meanwhile governor christie did not mince words today asking whether guardian wants a medal for making a debt payment and saying that hes confident theyre in such rough shape that this will not be the case next month. So, some fighting words today and certainly a situation for Atlantic City to work out. Sharrie and brian. Yeah, ongoing saga one well continue to follow. It is time now for the action news traffic report. All right, lets send it over to matt pelman in the action News Traffic Center on monday afternoon. Hey, matt. We could be in better shape as we start the new work week, starter the new motorails this afternoon brian and sharrie.

Today governor Chris Christie announced what new jersey is doing to fight lead in schools. And its end of a line for a popular Sporting Goods store. What it means for hundreds of jobs here at home. With the water crisis in flint, michigan fresh on the publics mind theres a new initiative in new jersey to test the water in every single public school. And to let parents know whether its safe for their kids to drink. Today governor Chris Christie says he will require every single one of the states Public Schools to test for lead starting next school year. So hes asking the legislature for 10 million to pay for this mandatory testing. This follows an announcement back in march that indicates testing did find levels of lead in half of the School Buildings in newark. Christie says this mandate takes the Testing Process one step further. Theyve been required already to deliver by regulation Safe Drinking Water to everybody in the school. Thats already a requirement. What were saying now is were going to require you to test and publish the results of throws tests to parents and to the public so that they know. So if lead is detected christie says its up to the individual School District to decide how to handle it. The state does not have a say in that matter. In camden, for instance, lead was detector back in 2002. Rather than update the pipes there which can get costly they he switched to bottled water. So just one example but that testing will be mandatory for the whole state now. Sharrie. Safety precautions. Im sure parents are in favor for that one. Alicia thank you.
