| In a move that can only be politely called indifference but is likely abject hatred, Chris Christie subjected thousands of New Jersey public workers to a commute that could be called dangerous, unnecessary and a direct distraction and disruption to emergency crews trying to protect and recover the roads and rails of Trenton from not yet crested flood waters. |

| Where most sane and sensible leadership would have asked non-essential personnel to remain at home for the day in order to allow emergency crews to manage extensive damage and flooding from Irene, Christie has instead done nothing but kept silent rather than effectively govern.
A day after he begrudgingly gave a single sentence back pat to New Jersey emergency crews, followed by a long winded praise of several dozen of his "Appointees" for suffering through bad food and long hours. As if that wasn't enough, he ended with what can only be described as a back-handed compliment to New Jersey state residents when he said:"
"Over a million people left the Jersey shore in 24 hours and did so in an orderly fashion. That is a pretty extraordinary thing for people in New Jersey to do anything in an orderly fashion. That's the great thing about the people of New Jersey. They pulled together in a time of crisis and put aside their "normal" behavior patterns..."
Who does he claim to represent, exactly? It doesn't sound like it's the working class of New Jersey.
NJ.com posted the following response from union leader, Hetty Rosenstein, regarding todays traffic debacle and governance failure:
Top Union Official Blasts Gov. Christie for Requiring State Employees to Report to Work:
"It's ridiculous. It's taking people hours to get in, especially in Trenton," said Hetty Rosenstein, state director of the Communications Workers of America. "My problem is I don't think that's at all what the local police departments or state police want. I don't really understand it."
This is the guy that right-wing pundits and Tea Party Patriots want to run a whole country? A guy who has problems managing a state or even a single city
Maybe next natural disaster he'll make the state helicopter that got him to work available to the rest of the state workers. |
