THE NEW YORK OLYMPIC GAMES 2012?
While the 2012 Olympics are just a speck on the sports horizon right now, preparations for site selection are well under way. Earlier this year, the CS. Olympic Committee chose New York to be the official American entry in the international pool of cities vying to host the summer games in nine years. The New York bid includes plans for holding some events at venues in the Garden State. On the whole, most New Jerseyans feel that hosting this seminal competition would be good for the state. However, a majority draw the line at spending tax dollars in order to hold the games here.
