Christie blames state police for his helicopter use
maybe they also told him drinking soda by the gallon wouldn't make him gain weight?

DENVILLE, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he was initially told by state police that he didn't have to reimburse the state for personal helicopter rides.

Christie answered questions about his use of a state police helicopter Thursday afternoon at a bill signing in Denville. He unapologetically says he was balancing his role as a father and job as a governor when he used the helicopter to go to two of his son's baseball games.

Christie says he decided to reimburse the state about $2,100 only because the issue had become a distraction from the real problems facing New Jersey. The state Republican Party is paying about $1,200.

6. So, The state Republican Party is paying for this using donor's money?

7. OK Gov who used to prosecute people like you...
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 04:57 PM by rustydog
1. Who in the State Police told you you did not have to reimburse the state for a non-state event attendance?
2. what qualified whomever this person is to give you this erroneous information?
3. did you not, after being sworn-in as a Repuke governor, receive an inservice (Most new-hired do get new-hire inservice orientation training) memo about reimbursable and non-reimbursable expenditures you incur?
4. Does not someone on your staff have better qualifications to inform you on reimbursement rules other than a state trooper pilot?

Mr. Christy, Chris, Chrissy, come clean boy, you'll feel better. We already know you are a lying republican cur. just come forward and admit you are a lying, hypocrite and move on with your greedy self-centered life of telling others how to live.
