in order to save a few bucks when they takeover Atlantic City’s municipal government will the be looking for a new cheaper water supply too? will he be conferring with Rick Snyder?
"I am no longer going to allow the taxpayers of New Jersey to be responsible."
He needs that money for his legal fund —
That is what I was thinking, did not work out so good for Synder
“They should not play chicken or test me. Because I will crash this car head-on, I swear it.”
I like the word play. Fed-up with state politicans.
I look forward to,
" Feds are fed up with christie and the state politicans have Fed everything they need to the feds to feed christie to the wolves"
Christie says the state Assembly needs to get behind a pair of measures already passed in the Senate that would strip Atlantic City of most of its power and would give the state the right to break contracts, dissolve agencies and sell off city assets and land. A separate measure would let the casinos make payments in lieu of taxes in return for not filing tax appeals with the city.
So, the people who lent money to a city with financial problems are made whole by stealing earned pension benefits from workers, cutting salaries, and selling off city property to private owners. As a side deal, the big casinos would get payments-in-lieu set so low that it would no longer be worthwhile to fight for reductions.
That’s “getting the job done in the right way” for Christie. Bankers get to earn profits at little risk in exchange for helping Christie bust unions and privatize public assets and public services.

He’s going to be replaced in 2017? Doesn’t this make him a lame duck who is no longer allowed to act as governor?
Why is a Governor Christie using a phrase like “play chicken”?
Hasn’t anyone told him yet that Charles P. Pierce, maybe the equal of TBogg in naming, calls him “Big Chicken”?
Knowing Christie he will recommend they just pump water directly from the Atlantic.
Democrats who are in bed with Chris Christie need to be voted out of office. Christie has bribed some of these Democrats for personal gain to run roughshod over the state that otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to do. Corrupt politicians no matter what political party they come from should be shown the door. Chris Christie is unfit to hold any government position now or in the future.
Republicans believe government is the solution. Not capitalism.
Tell the bondholders to go fuck themselves…they can take an extra haircut to save pensions. Pensions that people bargained for when they signed up to be a member of a public sector union. The State has to honor its obligations to its workers before it should worry about paying back any bondholders.
In this end, this isn’t about personal rivalries. It’s about getting the job done in the right way.
You know… like my “Let Exxon-Mobile off the hook for massive polluting and being held accountable to pay for the clean up” deal. Now that is the RIGHT WAY to get the job done. ~ Chris Christie
Christie is just another Trumphole!
Bullies gotta bully!
More incoherence from the GOP. Governments are ineffective when they are too far away from the local level, so if a local government is failing, have it taken over by a higher-level government. Because logic.
If he was any kind of man at all he would resign. He’s an opportunist turkey, yet he still thought he had what it takes to be leader of the free world. He’s not worth the sweat on Obama’s nuts.
Other than that, he’s okay.
…give the state the right to break contracts…
Is that even legally possible? Any lawyers here?
