Former New Jersey Attorney General Christopher J. Christie has decided to run for Governor of New Jersey on the Republican ticket. As Attorney General, Christie has sent a number of New Jersey politicians to jail for corruption.
Christie emailed supporters stating: “I did not take this step lightly. It was only after careful consideration and consultation with my family that I decided to become a candidate.
“New Jersey is broken. New Jersey’s taxes have become so unaffordable that more families are leaving our state than moving here. Our state’s business-tax climate is ranked 50th in the nation and has become so unattractive to employers that only government jobs are growing in New Jersey. Yet nothing in Trenton gets done to fix these problems.
“We can change this. We can solve these problems if we’re willing to make the tough decisions.”
A recently released poll showed that 65% of New Jersey voters believe New Jersey is on the wrong track, but 45% still think current New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine is doing a good job (how this is possible, I do not know). The poll also showed that Corzine would beat Christie in November by 40-33. Even with all the negative news in New Jersey, voters are still willing to vote in a Governor that they complain about. Sad.
