Bloomberg Quote: The increases in all three indicators lag the national median, in some cases severely. Employment is up just 2.2 percent, the sixth-lowest increase nationwide. Personal income has risen 10.5 percent, which sounds good but ties with Rhode Island for third-smallest gain in the country. Tax revenue is up 7.1 percent -- less than in 44 other states. Let's see... third slowest gain in income increase... ranked 45th in tax revenue... That's all due to a minimum wage increase that hasn't even happened yet. Facts don't lie. I don't think they are all his fault. But it is pretty jarring when criminal like Corzine produces better than you...

When NJ loses jobs because of the ridiculous constitutional amendment raising the minimum wage-don't blame it on the Governor, he wanted a three year implementation with no lasso to inflation.

I don?t blame Christie for the economy either. I blame him for wasting NJ money. I credit him with being a bigot. As Bloomberg news, that noted elitist liberal empire, noted: New Jersey has had slower post-recession growth than New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and just about every other state in the country. But, yeah, that Obama is just sticking it to us. Quote:
I don?t know. Why don?t you explain it? Let?s hear how Christie being governor, winning in less than a landslide which should be an embarrassment, is ?revenge? for Booker winning Senator, only because he was too much of a coward to go up against Christie.

Exit polls show voters in NJ rightly don't blame Christie for the Obama economy. Exit polls show huge gains by Christie among women (more than half voted for him), African Americans, Latino Americans-plus 30% of Democrats pulled the lever for him. For all those who may have claimed Obama had a mandate after his second election (even though less people voted for him AND his margin of victory shrank)-I guess you have to say Christie has a much stronger mandate after this election.

Congratulations, the Bully won , I won't hold my breath waiting for his Property Tax Relief. I wonder if the great economic growth N.J . Has seen over the past 4 years will continue or improve( sarcasm) I already started putting money away in anticipation of the property tax increase for next year ( I know I should be thrilled with his property tax relief, when will the Governors of the other 49 States wake up and follow His lead , oh wait we already have one of the highest property tax rates in the Country ) I wonder where all the Sandy Money to help people went ? Oh that's right the Governor is using it to rebuild the Seaside Boaedwalk again after the fire , to those whose homes still haven t been repaired and those who still are out of their homes, don't worry Christie has only the best interests of the State in mind (sarcasm)

Admired? I wonder where the stats are on that. In the meantime, I'd contend that millions admire Britney Spears. It doesn't mean they're intelligent. In fact, I'd contend that your life must be pretty sad to admire a guy like Christie. I also hold a higher standard for myself than he does for himself. Lastly, you do know that it is possible to support a guy and think he's the best option while also admitting he has made an absolutely awful decision regarding the election, right? You won't lose your Republican registration if you say, "Yeah, Christie should not have wasted state money." It's allowed to have an independent, free thought.

Monroe, so 12 million dollars is chump change in the scope of the State Budget ? That would seem to indicate that the Governor had extra money laying around to frivolously waste on a special election a few weeks before the general election. I could find ways to put that "chump change" to better use, such as putting towards his great property tax relief so maybe the taxes would in fact be lower even if it was by a mere few dollars, at least then He wouldn't be deceiving the voters into thinking He actually is doing something positive for the people. Again He held a Special Election to benefit Himself, lets be honest and see things for what they are, He certainly isn't as Altruistic as He or his sheep would like people to believe. A true Altruistic Leader wouldn't resort to Bullying those who don't share in his opinion.

I hate to say it, but a couple of million of dollars is chump change in a state budget-especially a state who subsidizes Jersey City taxpayers by paying almost 75% of its almost 650 million dollar school budget-year after year after year.

Before Monroe responds with, "Special Election was to make sure NJ voters were represented and it wasn't just Christie's pick!"
Special Election October 16, 2013 Date Election would have been held on: November 5, 2013 14 days weekdays Let's just use the conservative estimate that special election cost 12 million. I don't think approx 850k a day was worth it......

After Christie killed the ARC tunnel, he showed himself to not be for NJ. I know Monroe will post back about cost overruns but Christie's figure is hugely inflated http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliv ... 0/trans-hudson_arc_tunnel http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/13/opi ... -tunnel-project.html?_r=0 http://www.streetsblog.org/2012/04/10 ... -lied-to-kill-arc-tunnel/ http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/10/nyr ... l?_r=1&hp=&pagewanted=all Mr. Christie estimated that the project could cost more than $14 billion, of which New Jersey would have had to pay 70 percent if you counted federal stimulus dollars and Port Authority money. The report said later federal estimates ranged from $9.8 billion to $12.4 billion and that the state?s real share was 14.4 percent. Not increasing property values and dooming our infrastructure to not raise the gas tax so he can have a shot at the 2016 election was strike #1 and #2 Strike #3 was scheduling a special election on a Wed, costing taxpayers 24 mill so he can have a landslide victory today - not a victory but a landslide victory.

TIME just published a really interesting excerpt from the new 2012 campaign book DOUBLE DOWN by Mark Helperin and John Heileman, covering Romney's vetting of Christie as a potential running mate.
As TIME puts it: "During the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney ranked Chris Christie among the final contenders to be his running mate. That is until the Republican nominee started digging into the New Jersey governor?s record." http://swampland.time.com/2013/11/02/the-hunt-for-pufferfish/ ("Pufferfish" was the secret code name assigned to Christie by the Romney vetters. The article doesn't say why.)

Booker was the tallest midget in the room. Shame on the right for not offering up a real candidate. Maybe that was the plan so that they could put a real candidate up for election in a year.

Nyrgravy, Get over the attitude and stick to substance? Tell me when should I(We ) expect property tax relief? That is after all substance ,correct? It was his platform when He ran for Governor 4 years ago, and for all the great accomplishments that He has achieved(Sarcasm) I have seen and experienced first hand My proper taxes go up each and evey year and my State Income Tax Returns go down each year that He has been in Office ,Please enlighten Me as to all of His great accomplishments other then to prove that He has the ability to scream and berate His constituents? Now I am pretty sure that Property Taxes are Substance correct? Enlighten Me please!! And please don't tell me about how he corrected the Pensions and Healthcare Reform because in doing that He provided Me the taxpayer no relief at all. Just simply exposed how easy it was for him to violate contracts.

It is more than attitude. Successful Federal prosecutors often tend to be be bullies. They usually make bad elected officials.
Until his star turn on 9/11, Rudy Guiliani was a not a great mayor. Likewise, before he got caught with his pants down, Eliot Spitzer was a lousy governor. Christie is a blow-hard and a bully as well. That is not superficial. That is substance. Christie reveals his true perspective in his ugly rants. Christie also happens to be a political opportunist and a shameless hack.

You guys get so hung up on the bully attitude. Let me ask you this, would you rather a guy with a brash attitude tell you how it is, or would you rather the typical shyster (a la Corzine, et al) smiling at you while they stick it in without spitting on it?
Please, get over the attitude crap and focus on substance you fools.

Monroe ,You can keep finding excuses for Christie, is it the legislatures fault that Christie acts like a Bully? or is it His Parents fault. The point that I was making is really quite simple, a Constituent simply asked a question and rather then either simply walking away or answering her question in a civilized and respectful way He chose to berate her and scream at her all because She had the audacity to question Him at a Campaign stop that was orchestrated to have all of his supporters there and apparently the one person who dared question him and not offer her support was verbally attacked in Public. if You truly believe that is the way to act when You are supposed to be a Governor of the people of New Jersey then I don't have to look far to see what the problems with this State are. Now as for Property Taxes, when You base Your campaign on property tax relief and You continually state that You have provided relief when in reality every person knows when You state that You are going to provide tax relief that means taxes either stabilize at the very least or go down, it does not mean that your taxes go up every year and your returns go down every year, to think that people would be thrilled that taxes haven't gone up as much allegedly as in previous years is a statement that is rather disingenuous at best, it is akin to going to the doctor for a sore throat on a Monday and getting antibiotics and on Wednesday you no longer have the cold but now you have Pneumonia, Yes the Doctor provided you relief for the cold but now you have a bigger issue , yes He relieved your cold so you should be thrilled with that but caused a bigger issue, I guess the same could be said for Governor Christie (BullY)

Nonsense. With a Democratic controlled Legislature there is only so much Christie can do re:taxes, with the exception of slowing the rate of increase-which he's done superbly. And done it in a bi-partisan manner. Ask why Sweeney and his Legislature refuse to pursue reforms in the area of sick and vacation payouts to retiring public sector employees-how much is that costing JC this year? And that's somehow Christie's fault? Er, no, it's the residue of decades of Democrats giving away the Statehouse to the special interests.
