Questions continue to persist about Governor Christie's slush fund front group that is openly flaunting their ability to avoid state pay to play laws. Upon them being posed directly to Christie himself, we got this nonsense in the Star Ledger:Gov. Chris Christie said today he is not responsible for a group of supporters soliciting political donations outside state limits, even as he welcomed the "help" against labor unions that are spending furiously to defeat his agenda. Yes, you see once again according to this Governor, it's the big bad union's fault. As Senator Sweeney put it, at least you know who is coming after you if it's a union because they file and abide by state pay to play laws. Even Republicans are questioning the slush fund saying it doesn't pass the smell test:"In the environment we're in - and it's an environment the governor has contributed mightily to - these things are looked at with considerable suspicion," said Carl Golden, a GOP strategist who has advised former governors. "It just doesn't look right. In this business, appearance accounts for a great deal." It's good to see the Star Ledger digging into this. It has all the connections to the Governor including the fact that every time they hold an event, Christie is the main attraction. It's nothing more than a GOP front group that can work around state contributions limits. Christie's contention that he's not responsible is laughable at best and even his fellow Republicans are starting to raise questions. |
