Christie in Denville: plans for leading New Jersey to economic prosperity
From an auditorium packed with roughly 600 people at the Morris County School of Technology, Gov. Chris Christie discussed Thursday his plans for leading New Jersey to economic prosperity.
The governor knocked his Democratic predecessors for a “decade of stagnation.”
“We lost 117,000 jobs in 2010 alone. Seventy billion dollars in wealth left New Jersey between 2004 and 2010,” he said. “We had the largest budget deficit by percentage in the country. Taxes were raised 115 times by Gov. McGreevey, Gov. Codey and Gov. Corzine.” (Townsend, Gannett)
