>Christie vs. Dems: Sick-leave payout battle intensifies
It’s no game, this latest gambit by the governor to rein in public spending. But he says Democrats who control the Legislature are treating it like one.
“I feel like I’m with Monty Hall,” Gov. Christie told a crowd at town hall this week in West New York, invoking the legendary “Let’s Make a Deal” game show host. “You don’t like 15,000? How about 7,500?”
Prowling the stage, mic in hand, he followed with something very unlike Monty Hall, putting away the fun demeanor in favor of a serious attack on a Democratic proposal to halve the payouts for unused sick leave. (Hooker, PolitickerNJ)
