It has recently been brought to light by the sharp research of the New Jersey Sierra Club ( http://newjersey.sierraclub.org/ ) --and THANKS to them~ GREAT WORK!!--that Governor Christie is invested in a company that recycles fracking wastewater. This information was released on 24 October 2011 through NPR, and you can read the complete report at this link: http://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2011/10/24/nj-governor-has-interest-in-fracking-technology/

This article states that NJ Governor Christie profited $28,000 from his ownership of stock in this particular company, according to his 2010 tax return. Now this is not millions of dollars, but it is a modest income for one person, from a single investment. This revelation exposes a significant conflict of interest in two important respects. First of all, it creates a doubt about his motivation to reject a complete ban passed overwhelmingly this past summer by both the NJ State Assembly, as well as the NJ Senate. See the full report on these votes here: http://www.desmogblog.com/new-jersey-senate-passes-fracking-ban

Presumably the Assembly and the Senate represent the will of the citizens, but rather than sign the bill into law, Governor Christie vetoed the ban and instead put in place a one year moratorium. It now appears that one possible reason that he did so was due to his vested financial interest. If he is invested in a company which recycles fracking wastewater, it would seem that when the fracking business does well, that the Governor will also do well with his investment.
