Greets and saluts from the Resistance in the NYC metro area. Gov. Christie is still prattling on about how he had to shut down the state government because the budget wasn’t in place, even though the reason it wasn’t in place was because he demanded action on something completely unrelated to the budget (Horizon BCBS) that he threw into the budget.

So, instead of breaking it out separately, which would have been the prudent thing to do, he’s bullying his way as usual.

There’s a reason he has 15% approval in NJ. People are tired of his bullshit, and the fact that he was sunning himself on a state beach closed to everyone else all because he shuttered the state government doesn’t help his situation either.

There’s a group out there that’s trying to push all the blame on to the Assembly Speaker, and even put up posters at state facilities that put the blame on the Speaker, but that misrepresents and outright shifts the blame for all this from where it belongs- on the governor.
