$100Million Scam?

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook icon donated a handsome amount of money to the city of Newark,NJ to the tune of $100Million. The donation itself was to be filtered and used for the school district to rebuild and reshape the public schools. Since then, Mayor Cory Booker and the city counsel have tied up the money in an account and nobody is privy to the whereabouts or diretion the money has gone. Tuesday, the ACLU finally filed a lawsuit to release the records as to what the city plans on doing with the money. The lawsuit was filed under the refusal if New Jersey's Open Public Records Act which is in violation by not allowing parents and taxpayers to  view what the monet has been allotted for. The city of Newark has long been a thorn in the side with corrupt politicians and people that bleed its system dry and the children of the city are always the ones to suffer because of the lack of interest in education and building an infrastructure that can flourish because of its close proximity to NY. It is a disgrace that this donation will probably go by way of most others and wind up being nothing more than a scam by its current regime.
