All told, the $76 million cost overrun accounts for 29 percent of the final price tag, the Press found. Despite repeated requests from the Press, government officials still can't explain how $23 million in cost overruns were spent."

"Cost over runs"...In new Jersey, this has been an expected way of doing business with government.
No job in New Jersey has EVER come in under or at budget and NEVER on time.
This is my home state. And I am saddened to see the depths to which the place has fallen.
One million dollars to convert the surface to accommodate thoroughbreds is ABSURD.
