Urban Schools in Dire Need of Repairs, 43 Groups Tell Christie

Chris Christie to speed up school repairs in the state's poorest cities, where they say dozens of public schools have fallen into disrepair. Hundreds of projects in Newark, Irvington, Trenton and other cities have been frozen for years and Christie should fast-track them this summer before children return to school, the groups wrote in a letter to the Republican governor this week.
