Christie buys $300K w/ taxpayer money on food and booze

[ClosedCaption]

Wow, usually these threads go on for days....


Or is it because Christie didnt take a vacation or go golfing....or just not Obama is the diff?

Whew, sure glad I can pull up a seat for front row before all the republicans get in and start tearing the place up about govt waste.

It's government waste. Just because he is a Republican does not give him a pass. He abused taxpayer money on exhorbent food and drink. Unacceptable.

So taxpayer funds should not be spent on food and drink. Cool. Can I get that in writing along with signatures from all you libtards?

So i guess Fat shaming is OK as long as its against a white republican male heterosexual. Got it.

Actually, I am conservative. Within reason, food and drink should be provided.

Christie buys $300K of food & booze with NJ expense account

By Mark Lagerkvist | New Jersey Watchdog

Chris Christie’s expense account tells a story of appetite and ambition, one that pits government waste against the New Jersey governor’s waistline.

Christie spent $360,000 from his state allowance during his five years in office. More than 80 percent of that money, or $300,000, was used to buy food, alcohol and desserts, according to a New Jersey Watchdog analysis of records released by the governor’s office.

Chris Christie Spent $82,000 In Taxpayer Money On Concessions At NFL Games
According to a New Jersey Watchdog analysis of records from the governor's office that was published Monday, Christie used $300,000 of his $360,000 state allowance over five years to purchase food, alcohol and desserts. Some $82,594 of that sum went to Delaware North Sportservice, which operates the concessions at MetLife Stadium, the home of both the New York Giants and Jets teams.

To avoid a potential scandal that could embarrass their rising political star, the New Jersey Republican State Committee reimbursed the Treasury in March 2012 for Christie’s purchases from “DNS Sports.” Since then, the governor has refrained from using his expense account at MetLife and other sports venues.

According to the analysis, Christie was also a big fan of the grocery store Wegmans Food Markets, where he spent $76,373 in 53 shopping runs. A spokesman for the governor defended the nature of the expenses, explaining they were for "official" and "business" purposes.



I wonder ... Did he eat it all or did he share?

I always knew he was a Democrat in disguise.

If it wasn't within reason, why was it within budget and approved?

$300,000 over 5 years is five grand a month...

I don't care either way about what tons-of-fun thinks about it (if you know kevin smith movies, you get the reference), what I care about is the reality that you would be screaming bloody murder if this tactic was used on some female-cis-gen-tran-tubbo-of color or something or other. Its not the content, its the underlying hypocrisy.

a TACTIC? bwahaha chris christie looking like a pig is not some political conspiracy...

female image bashing happens every day here. why don't you link to me ever doing any such thing.

The point is you have no issue doing it to a man, when you would never do it to a woman, not that you HAVE done it to a woman.

Are you really gullible enough to think it was for one person? Its an entertainment budget.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

There goes that fiscally responsible Republican party again

 

[The Irish Ram]

This little piggy went to market....

When you idiots start posting things like that against people from "special" groups, then I can consider this to me more than hypocritical mouth breathing.

Yep. This is why when it comes to the libs on this board... I take everything they say with a huge grain of salt...less actually.
