My New Favorite Christie Line

November 12, 2010 9:48 A.M. By Veronique de Rugy
 
“Let me help you pack.” That’s what Gov. Chris Christie told one of the state’s top administrators when that administrator commented publicly that he could leave New Jersey and go to another state if his $242,000 total compensation were to be capped under the governor’s proposed rule.

The item is only a few more paragraphs long.  It's here:

If, after a statement of "I'm leaving this state(country)", you were to scoop them up, put them in the back of a limo and transport them accross the state line, or better yet, the border, would that be considered kidnapping?

Hey, don't say it if you don't mean it.

I hope his real value will be showing the next congress how to grow a set and start dick-slapping people who want to enrich themselves on the taxpayer's dime.

Kind of takes the public service out of public service.

Seeing that the Governor is given a salary of $175,000 as the elected chief executive of the state, I wonder why this guy feels entitled more than the elected chief executive.

Hmm if Mr. Christie can get onto the state college campuses in NJ, perhaps he could make them affordable again.

Afterall we are all entitled to 200,000 + salaries to have grad students teach classes.

1st time in a long time that I :heart: my Governor.

Just a little tidbit about NJ, we're close to $8,000 for our property taxes and we have nothing to brag about, tiniest bit of property, most people I know are paying $12,000 or more per year in property taxes, and since my County is 1 of the wealthiest counties not only on the State but the entire Country, a portion of our property taxes are redistributed to the "poorer" aka Dem controlled Counties, where BTW the elected officials are very wealthy, I digress, also a large portion of our property taxes go towards the schools, where Teachers when they retire get about 80% salary for their pension, then they up and move out of State because they can't afford their property taxes, so they're collecting money from the State but not putting much back into it. The middle class which the Dems say they care about are forced to move out of State, businesses have said screw this about the taxes imposed on them and have moved out of the State, and NJ is getting to the point where only the poor and rich will be able to live here, kind of like California. Christie is doing a damn good job trying to turn things around.

Nothing would please me more than lower property taxes in NJ.

You are bad drivers and since we are on the border, you keep emigrating here than demanding more local government services like you had in NJ and increasing our taxes.

That's the mentality that Democrats want people to have though, demand demand demand yet who's going to pay for it? And it always amazes me how people are pretty much forced to move out of the State, they move to someplace cheaper and continue to vote for Democrats who were responsible for them having to leave their State to begin with.

Your democrats are much different than our democrats.

My county has had a good mixture of democratic and republican administrations and commissioners over the past 30 or so years.

The New Jersey democrats and some of the republicans have a hard time understanding that something doesn't come from nothing.

There is an old township that became the second largest township rather quickly mostly from New Jersey folks.  They are balking at the idea the state wants them to pay for the increased state police service reserved for farming communities or have their own police force.

There was a measure being proposed for a countywide police force being discussed.  Both democrats and republicans from other townships were firmly against the idea because of that one township even though it might save money because we knew they'd rob us.

You're right, they're all either socialists or communists.

Socialism is a weighted term.  I think the BOG could qualify for the communist label, but fascist is more fitting.
