When It Comes to Sneaky - These Guys Never Disappoint

Mr. Christie (I really can't call him Governor Christie because he is never here acting as New Jersey's governor) should be privatized as soon as possible. I can't understand why an absentee public employee, involved with multiple, underhanded sleazy dealings by both him and his cronies has not been subjected to recall? 

I suppose the only answer is, having been a Federal Prosecutor, he has a pile of dirt on numerous politicians and others, tucked away in a file cabinet somewhere (J. Edgar style).

The only other possibility is the citizens and politicians of New Jersey are too stupid or lazy to "throw the bum out".

P.S.

Want a list of "The Governor's" shenanigans. Here's a bunch I can think of right off the bat.

Bridgegate (of course)

Harrison Train Station (his brother's company benefited handsomely)

Hunterdon  County Sheriff's Office Investigation (he squashed it)

Exxon Mobile "Settlement?"

RU President on Boards of Trustees of companies doing business with RU (okay by Christie)

Pension "Reform" renege

PA Appointments (Samson et al)

Loss of $400M Fed Ed Funds (and put it all on Schindler) 

Canceled ARC Tunnel (cost jobs & money during the height of the recession)

Trips and Entertainment from "Friends" - Jones, Adelson, etc.

Held Special Elections ($24M) for his personal political advantage

Screwed up the Sandy Aid program and paid $30M to company that did it

Used Sandy Funds for political advertising

This Guy's Got Big Ones (Besides the Belly)

When it comes to a “bad deal” Chris Christie should be an authority. He’s engaged New Jersey in so many.

·      *   Lost $400M Federal Education grant due to shoddy paperwork (and then of course blamed the Education Commissioner)

·       *  Rejected the Arc  Tunnel Project (about $240M which would have helped to cure the transportation morass in NJ and would have provided thousands of jobs) and then stole the money to balance the budget.

·         * Spent $24M for a “special election” to bolster his political standing in the upcoming governor’s race

·        *  Ballyhooed a Pension Reform deal and then backed out  when the time came to make good

·        *  Spent $7M for a lawyer pal to write him an excuse in the Bridgate Scandal

·       *   Settled (is trying) to settle with Exxon Mobil for a pittance while accepting large contributions to the RNC

·        *  Used Sandy funds for advertisements including his political promos

·         * Hired an inept company to oversee Sandy funding and then fired  them with a $33M payout

Yes - when it comes to making shitty deals for New Jersey citizens  - he does know his stuff!

Now “The Governor” is holding a press conference (and actually in NJ for a change)  to “advise” Booker about the Iran Deal. He must be kidding!!

A Christie Factoid From the Past

His allegiance to big money didn't just start as "The Governor". 

It goes way back as you can see in this video clip.
