This type of story is sick (no pun intended). An utter failure of political leadership on both sides of the aisle.

The New Jersey government left countless children exposed to lead poisoning in the last decade by diverting more than $50 million away from a health fund to pay routine bills and salaries, a Gannett New Jersey investigation found.
The diversion was approved by Democratic and Republican governors, including Chris Christie. State budgets can supersede laws requiring funding for various programs. ---------------- Newark had 880 children under 6 with at least 5 micrograms, by far the highest number in the state, followed by Paterson (385), Jersey City (372), Irvington (250), Trenton (224) and Elizabeth (183).
