If you are in Newark, and you find yourself asking, someone if they can 'spare a square' then you are likely going to be out of luck.
Actually, if you happen to be in Newark at all, then good luck anyway!
Things are getting so bad in Newark that the mayor has ordered the government to stop buying toilet paper.
It's part of Newark Mayor Cory Booker's belt-tightening plans that include reducing most city workers to a 4-day work week and shuttering city pools. Booker estimates that the pool closures alone would save $250,000. He also says that no gas will be purchased for municipal vehicles that are not deemed critically important.
I personally like the phrase 'belt-tightening' in this context.
