Chris Christie is a fat, corrupt, unethical, SOB. But he's better than what we have now.
... and yet, about 1/3 of our state's residents can't even provide the name of our current Chief Executive.
If he had truly devastated our state, shouldn't more people be aware of very basic facts, such as his NAME?
I honestly don't see the difference between the 2. Njtransit is still broken and underfunded. where's the ganja?!
False promises to voters to persuade people to vote for them. All politicians do it. Did you hear all the promises last night by the candidates if you vote for them.
For all his faults, Christy DID get property taxes under control, and to me, that makes it all worth it. We went from a 7% rise per year under Corzine, to a 2% rise under Christy. 7% was unsustainable. I know that some people who don’t like Christy, come up with anecdotal stories about how their property taxes went up a lot, but the evidence doesn’t bear that out for the vast majority of people. A simple google search will show, even the most liberal of publications, confirm this.

Former Gov. Chris Christie’s administration drastically curtailed increases in property taxes through a 2 percent cap on local spending. Prior to that cap, property taxes were rising 7 percent a year, on average.

That is reasonable. We all have different issues that matter to us. That is why we vote in the first place.
To the people who voted for him, property taxes were more important than NJ transit issues.
