Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Gov. Chris Christie's honeymoon over?

Mayor Cory Booker of Newark said he and Gov. Chris Christie used to "text like teenagers." Now, Booker can’t get Christie on the phone.

Booker, who was flanked by Essex County Democrats at a City Hall news conference last week, said he was looking for guarantees that any reorganization of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey would benefit the city of Newark and Essex County. He said he was unhappy with the responses he was getting from Christie.

"I have spoken to representatives from his office and I have not had adequate assurances," Booker said — the first time The Auditor can remember Booker criticizing Christie.

The honeymoon may have ended when Christie and Oprah Winfrey planned an interview a few weeks ago at Hobby’s, Newark’s most famous place to grab a corned beef on rye, and Booker was not included. The gathering at the delicatessen was canceled hastily, leaving people scratching their heads.

Big city Democratic mayor, and African-American. He should have a pretty good chance against Governor Thug.

Apparently not
