They are going broke because of the way the Republican named Christie did stuff.
Okay

whoever passed, signed and enforced those laws instead of contesting them as unconstitutional outside lawful limits of govt, then name THEM as the wrongdoers who owe money back to taxpayers.
If they refuse responsibility, then go after the PARTIES, the donors and members/voters of those parties, who ENABLED them to commit abuses and waste at taxpayer expense.
Don't you think things would change if officials and/or their parties were held to pay back for debts and damages they cause if their policies are in violation of govt duty and limits? Why can't we enforce the Constitution to check against bad govt abuse and waste, by enforcing costs and penalties for wrongdoers to pay back?
Wouldn't they be more careful to ensure the policies work sustainably within the given laws and budgets?
