Don't Mess with Christie - Fires entire commission

[chanel]

For decades, the commissioners who ran the state’s largest sewage treatment plant operated it as if they lived in their own kingdom, accountable to no one — not even the governor.

They hired brothers, wives, children and in-laws; cut sweetheart deals for insiders; gave out lucrative, no-bid consulting contracts, and ran up lavish travel expenditures.

Today, Gov. Chris Christie said he had had enough.

He fired nearly all of them.

"This will show you how out of touch these professional political hacks are," Christie said of Flynn’s response. "This is outrageous, and I’ve just had enough. The statute permits to terminate these people for cause."

I like Chris. I think he might be an excellent choice for POTUS.

The fish could dine off him for a very long time!

I like Chris. I think he might be an excellent choice for POTUS.

I like him for it too. For no other reason than he's humble enough to know, and admit, that he isn't ready for the job, yet.

I like Chris. I think he might be an excellent choice for POTUS.

I certainly agree with you there!

I think he's so valuable. in fact, that I'd like to see him get out now and run for the presidency before anything happens.

Damn, I wish we could get him in office next year. Someone with fiscal sanity.

Christie, sort of the anti-Obama. End times.

I like Chris. I think he might be an excellent choice for POTUS.

He's the first guy since Ron Paul who could make me go back on my vow to never vote for another demopublicratican again.

Ya really think that when the jersey rats get through with him he will still be politically germain to the national political scene?

Yea, that's what Obama said before he announced.

I'd certainly put him high on my consideration list. I don't get too excited before I do my own homework on a candidate.

I'm waiting for Bobby Jindhal to strap on a set and do the same.... we have such a bloated bureaucracy here it is unimaginable.

He needs to do a Christie here in LA.

It doesn't take balls to fire people who aren't doing their job in fear of "losing power/voters," all it takes is integrity. He's got plenty of Security.

Jindhal been a major disappointment, at least for me. Still a vast improvement over Kathleen Babbling Blanco.

Jindhal did not stand up for his principles at times when it was important, to his constituency.
