Christie wants focus on jobs, not social
Thatwas the message that Gov. Chris Christie delivered to New Jersey business leaders visiting Washington, D.C., on Thursday as he ripped Democrats in the Legislature for their push to legalize gay marriage last week while the state’s unemployment remains high.
“What do you think the people of New Jersey care about most? Do you think they care about the things we’ve been talking about the most this last week?” Christie said. “They want to play around with social issues so they can make people look bad politically. How about saving that until we can get everybody back to work in New Jersey?” (DeFalco, Associated Press)
