Christie at Elmwood Park

Christie calls on South Jersey chamber for support, says Trenton spending must stop spending

Gov. Chris Christie delivered a stinging rebuke to Democratic legislators and called on business leaders to back his agenda at a speech to the Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey today.

“Now I’ve been pretty nice up until this point. That ends today,” Christie said to a crowd of 550 at the Crowne Plaza Cherry Hill. “I am tired of them lying to the public and that’s what they’re doing.”

Christie criticized a series of bills introduced by Democratic legislators, including the Residential Foreclosure Transformation Act, sponsored by Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak (D-Union), and a bill establishing a state council for responsible fatherhood, sponsored by Assembly members Troy Singleton (D-Mount Laurel) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-Trenton). He said the measures were unfunded and would lead to tax increases.  (Kitchenman, NJBIZ)
