Thought he did nothing wrong :eek: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110602/ap_on_re_us/us_christie_helicopter AP: NJ gov reimburses state for helicopter flights TRENTON, N.J. â New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and the State Republican Committee are reimbursing the state for the governor's personal use of a state police helicopter, which includes two trips to watch his oldest son's baseball games, a spokeswoman for Christie said Thursday. Christie has paid $2,251 to the state to cover the cost of all trips, said Maria Comella, his spokeswoman. The state GOP paid $1,232 to cover a helicopter trip Christie and his wife made to Princeton on Tuesday, flying 75 miles from a game in Montvale for a meeting with a group of top GOP campaign contributors from Iowa, Comella said. "As the chief of State Police said yesterday, the air travel didn't cost taxpayers any additional dollars and fell under the protection unit's normal security responsibilities," Comella said. "But the governor understands the sensitivity about this kind of thing and believes he owes it to the public to ensure that this is not a distraction." "We have some big, important reform measures that the governor is committed to getting done and that's where everyone's focus needs to be," she told The Associated Press. On Wednesday, a spokesman for the first-term GOP governor said the helicopter use was appropriate and that Christie doesn't reimburse the state for security and travel.
How about, whats he doing at the baseball game in the first place? Was he on the clock? And, how many sandwiches is he having a day?
1. Is that supposed to make wasting the tax dollars more acceptable? Many disrespect Bush and his reformed socialist neo cons... partly because the theft for their cronies and partly because of their spending -- including the trillion dollar drug company give aways called medicare part d. 2. But didn't Pelosi spurn a small jet for a 200 seater?
What a bunch of shit... when I worked on the hill I once worked for the sergeant at arms senate side... you know who the sargent at arms speaker side took his orders from? the speaker of the house. you know how you get those patronage jobs the sargent arms runs all over the hill... by going through the speakers office. The perk of being speaker is having the sargent at arms work for you.
