Why did Chris Christie decide not to go to Evesham?

by: Jason Springer

Thu Jul 02, 2009 at 02:00:00 PM EDT



Last night, Chris Christie was on the original agenda to attend the swearing in of the newly elected council candidates in Evesham. Up until around 2pm yesterday, he was even listed on the public agenda on the township website:

christieeveshamagenda

But magically between 2pm and 3pm yesterday, the agenda was was taken down from the website. The page was no more. And Chris Christie did not attend the swearing in of the new Evesham council candidates. He decided not to swear in the GOP candidates as they took control of council in the largest municipality in Burlington County. So what changed? Why did Christie not go?

The only difference between last week when his appearance was confirmed and the swearing in yesterday were the campaign finance allegations that became public earlier this week. I wrote about it on Monday and an article appeared in the Courier Post on Tuesday.

Christie turned up swearing in the Mayor in Robbinsville. In Christie's absence, State Senator Phil Haines swore in the new candidates. You can see how last minute that decision was, because if you go to the Township website now for the most current agenda, it doesn't have anyone listed as swearing the candidates in. So what changed that Christie ended up in Robbinsville instead of Evesham?
