Yet, the most important and clear issue are, and despite the paid opinion polls – a vast majority of New Jerseyans, don’t like Chris Christie – but are willing to deal with him. People who live in New Jersey but work for MTV was mad at the notion the Governor vetoed, a movie created that went to production. That means, if MTV doesn’t find moneys from another state – they would have to lay-off people from the New Jersey Shore. Political Polls, like Star-ledger and others show Gov. Chris Christie with a 54% approval rating among likely voters. Yet that doesn’t play into a factor that: 4 groups are trying to recall the Governor. In a serious of steps I will take about the real numbers on Chris Christie – based on legislative agenda, and public opinion research – I will show, that Chris Christie’s numbers are much lower in New Jersey.
1. Chris Christie’s Tool Kit: Stalled: Executive order went through
a. Created high and long term unemployment in New Jersey
b. Broke and open current cases in court on labor relations
c. Placed heavier burdens on municipal government
d. Created an unfair tax burden on New Jerseyans
The only way this agenda was able to get through was with an executive order coming from the Governor himself. Since majority of this package failed in the legislative branch!
2. Unions and Labor Despites
a. New Jersey is facing high unemployment rates, and long term unemployment rates that can’t be placed on the federal government. With Chris Christies’ $1000 unemployment tax hike on small businesses – who is cutting taxes?
b. It took a federal judge to over-rule a veto on the $500 million lost in education funds.
c. ARC Tunnel, still having hearings on the funds – yet look at the transit system In general. Path Trains are way over crowded, with signal problems, and maintaining the tracks problems.
d. Energy Policy: Chris Christie doesn’t have an energy policy – he froze mandated funds for the Energy by the Department of Energy, for no apparent reason but for political gain. Costing 8,000 New Jerseyans possible jobs and $8 million in revenue sharing with small business.
e. Over-regulations: that make no sense, meaning: you pay the permits, licensing – and the administration never sends you the certificate.
3. Recall efforts
a. You have five groups trying to Recall Governor Chris Christie
b. There are independent attack agents lined up against Chris Christie
4. New Jerseyans are unemployed
a. New Jersey is in the top ten when it comes to high unemployment – under-employment, social assistance, and public assistance
b. New Jersey is in the top ten in lack of medical coverage
i. People are still being denied coverage
ii. Chris Christie and Steve Sweeney drafted a deal that would force public employees to pay more for health care – while paying less into the pension system.
iii. Increasing demands on businesses and licensing – to where you have to pay more than 25% increased filing fees.
iv. Heavier tax burden on small businesses making under 100k
v. Political abuse and phoneyism from central government
1. Members or employees of the state are more likely to abuse their powers than ever before—since they see a governor that abuses his power.
c. New Jersey’s Public Safety
i. Crimes have increased
ii. Lack of funding to community outreach programs
iii. Lack of funding for faith based groups
iv. Higher fees, more taxes, and less public service
If you look at the current chart, and laundry list of things the governor fumbled in New Jersey, and the many that are dealing with him because of the simple notion: he’s the governor, and people respect the Statehouse. Yet, this spin that 54% of the public likes Chris Christie is false. Our poll based on legislative agenda, and public output – meaning what people are saying on social media, and at these: Town Hall Meetings. People are really laying it in on Chris Christie, and not a lot of those that do come out protest favor his administrative agenda. We rank and say: based on the information provided, that 42% of the general population is against Chris Christie – while 40% is in favor of his agenda, and 18% are totally out of the mix.
