re: #142 Dark_Falcon

Say what you like about Christie and Booker, both are firmly committed to their jobs and value proper governance over political gamesmanship. Would that all our nation’s governors and mayors were so dedicated.

Christie’s policies are all over the map. While he’s shown himself to be pretty good in dealing with natural disasters, his actions in the recovery efforts aren’t nearly as good.

He’s failed when it comes to NJ Transit and their mass flooding of equipment (giving key executives a pass when they should have been canned for knowingly leaving hundreds of railcars in flood zones that means that the rail network is still operating on reduced schedules). He’s shown a willingness to use out-of-state services (Ash-Britt) to do disaster recovery that costs far more than other recovery services b/c of connections rather than skill/need.

And he’s prone to bombastic excess when a softer touch would work.

That doesn’t get into his waffling on climate change and pandering to the know-nothings in the GOP.
