NEW JERSEY is hosting the FIFA World Cup. ➡️ Read that again. ⬅️ The games are in NEW JERSEY. The stadium is in NEW JERSEY. The taxpayers footing the bill are in NEW JERSEY. So why are the perks going to NEW YORK? 1,000 discounted tickets for NYC residents while New Jersey gets treated like the parking lot. Once again, Trenton Democrats let New Jersey come in second while someone else cashes in.

What the hell is going on here? The NY/NJ World Cup Host Committee took $50 million from New Jersey taxpayers, bought 1,000 tickets at full price, then turned around and sold them for $50 to New Yorkers. New Jersey families paid the bill, New Yorkers got the bargain. And the person chairing this committee is New Jersey’s former First Lady. At some point, this stops being incompetence and starts looking like contempt for New Jersey taxpayers.




1,000 World Cup tickets. $50 each. All for New Yorkers. We fought hard to make the people’s game available to the people — and won. Let the summer of soccer begin.
