IMO I don't think gov chrisie handled this question well. what do you think?
caller named Gail asked:“You don’t send your children to public schools. You send them to private schools, so I was wondering why you think it’s fair to be cutting funding to public schools?” the woman asked.
christie response:“Hey Gail, you know what, first of all it’s none of your business. I don’t ask you where you send your kids to school. Don’t bother me where I send mine,” the governor responded.
Responses like that won't help win the proverbial hearts and minds he needs to accomplish school funding reform, especially considering his history as a lobbyist:
Christie’s acting education commissioner, Christopher Cerf, has experience in public-private school partnerships. He previously led Edison Schools, a for-profit company that became the largest private-sector manager of public schools. Cerf left the company, now called EdisonLearning, in 2005.
Christie is also connected to for-profit education companies, including Cerf’s.
From 1999 to 2001, Christie was a registered lobbyist at a law firm that lobbied New Jersey government on behalf of Edison Schools, according to filings with the state Election Law Enforcement Commission.

But that was just a bad response.
You clearly have never been to New Jersey. That kind of exchange is normal for New Jerseyans.
