Christie's problems worsen in New Jersey

<..> First, Newark's Star-Ledger ran a lengthy, detailed report documenting the extent to which the governor's legislative proposals, executive orders, and agency rules were written, at times word for word, by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a shadowy far-right group that seeks to impose a conservative agenda in state legislatures.

Then, the New York Times helped shine a light on Christie's corporate welfare practices, in which the governor is handing out lucrative tax credits to preferred in-state corporations.

Today's revelations, meanwhile, may be the most controversial to date.

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey exaggerated when he declared that unforeseen costs to the state were forcing him to cancel the new train tunnel planned to relieve congested routes across the Hudson River, according to a long-awaited report by independent Congressional investigators.

We know it's coming - the belligerent "Obama-is-persecuting-me" press conference.

Christie may come out as the most corrupt GOPer in a long time. He's arrogant and thinks he can bluster his way through anything with his bad manners.
Putting through an ALEC written bill......not smart.

Gov. Christie: Nation turning into 'people sitting on a couch waiting for their next government check'
Published: Tuesday, April 10, 2012, 10:45 AM

NEW YORK — Gov. Chris Christie said the country is becoming a "paternalistic entitlement society" this morning in a speech at a conservative conference headed by former President George W. Bush.

<..> Though Christie alluded to national politics, he spent most of the speech on New Jersey issues. Neither he nor Bush mentioned President Barack Obama, or the likely Republican presidential nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Christie has endorsed and campaigned for Romney, while Bush has not publicly endorsed any of the GOP candidates.

Quote:"I have decided to stay out of the limelight," Bush said. "I don't think it's good, frankly, for our country to undermine the president and I don't intend to do so. But I do intend to remain involved in areas that I'm interested in."

The GWB comment is the most interesting thing in this article. Did you hear that Karl Rove?

Christie always works against the people. He only serves the Koch bros and their ilk.
