Governor Christie and his priorities


I recently wrote about how bad Governor Christie was for the State of New Jersey. He has done nothing to lower property taxes, he has gone after teachers, he is a union buster, he has gone after teacher’s pensions, with the help of a few d.i.n.o.s (Democrats in name only) in the Assembly and Senate of the state, has bullied the opposition, even abused verbally people who disagreed with him, on TV, and to a Iraq vet. He campaigned in California for the republican candidate during the last governor race. But the thing that has done it for me is the fact that now he said he will help Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin in his campaign this coming June. Governor Walker is facing a recall for his horrendous job in Wisconsin, he is a union busting, has given millions of dollars in tax cuts to his friends at the expense of cutting education and other services. The campaign against him to recall him got over a million signatures to call for another election. Governor Walker promised that he was going to create jobs, but he has only been responsible for losing 160,000 jobs in his state. He has the worst record in the union for job creation. Governor Christie seems to share some the same mentality as the Governor of Wisconsin as the State of New Jersey lost 16,000 in the month of March. 
Governor Christie is also very enthusiastic about Governor Romney, and probably will help the republican candidate for president during his campaign.
Maybe Governor Christie may want to consider moving to Wisconsin permanently, as he is so fond of Scott Walker, or accept a possible candidacy for Vice-president, or take a leave of absence with no salary for the rest of his term, and thus allowing the citizens of this state to move on with their lives, try to move forward, and start prioritizing the things that this state needs, instead of having a governor who is more concerned with the lives and candidacies of other republicans. He would not be missed. I wonder if during the next few months that he will be campaigning in other states if he will do it at no cost to state including no salary.
