Governor Chris Christie



Governor Chris Christie made some harsh and serious comments about State Senator Loretta Weinberg's hiprocritial agenda on pensions.

Who's Watch'In Chris Christie has a simple problem with the Chris Christie agenda, and we are now looking at calling him out for his remarks. This was the same blog that defended the Governor, who was then candidate Chris Christie; when former Governor Jon S. Corzine -- leashed out a campaign on calling him Crispy Creme.

And now that Governor Chris Christie is in power, he's using his office to bully his legislative branch. We consider this soundless and tastless politics.

Everyone agrees that the pension system by elected public employees have been raided for far to long. And people out there agree that those would need to reform. Yet, we think that the best way to reform--government, with elected leaders is to offer term limits on State Employees elected to office. And now that Chris Christie is attacking others for salaries and allowances. Who's Watch'In Chris Christie was the first group to point out, Chris Christie's pay raise way back when he first gave it to himself. Chris Christie's pay is $175,000 per year which is the third highest in country. Yet his daily allownace is $90,000 which includes health and other daily living expenses. His spouse gets, $90,000 as first lady of the state of New Jersey. Yet, what the general public doesn't know is that the Governor also gets $500,000 in staffing and campaign expenses for being governor--thus setting up an action committee. So techincally Governor Chris Christie has $1 million in the bank to throw around on the tax payers dime. And the laws written in the book doesn't detail how Governor Chris Christie has to and can spend the stipend for staffing, and how he can spend his pension allowance.

If the Governor wants the people of New Jersey to do more with less -- then the Governor would need to set the example. Lower his pay, lower his allowance, decrease the amount of staffing he can employ, and cut back on his daily trips to where ever he likes on the public dime. That's shows real leadership, and that shows that the governor is serious about curbing spending.
