Cares about himself anyway...
http://ridgewood.patch.com/articles/...#photo-6344157 Governor Christie landed in Bergen County in a state police helicopter late Tuesday afternoon to attend his son's baseball game against St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale. Christie arrived shortly before 4 p.m. to watch his son Andrew play baseball for Delbarton School. He was driven from the helicopter about 100 yards to the field in a black car with tinted windows. Responding to a question from Patch about the use of the helicopter to attend the game, Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak said, "It is a means of transportation that is occasionally used as the schedule demands. This has historically been the case in prior administrations as well, and we continue to be judicious in limiting its use." NJ.com reported that the helicopter landed just before lineup cards were exchanged and that Christie and his wife, Mary Pat, left the game in the 5th inning. The site also reported that the governor had no public events on his schedule, so it was unclear where he had traveled from. The website reported that Christie had a private meeting Tuesday night at the governor's mansion with a group of Iowa donors who are trying to pursuade him to run for president. The helicopter is one of five new choppers purchased by the state police, costs $12.5 million and can fly at 200 miles per hour, according to the NJ.com report.

Couldn't care less in comparison to the flotilla of aircraft bouncing all over a few states south.

The only reason this bothers me is that if the state is under such a huge budget crunch then why fly a helicopter when you can drive instead. Its a waste of money to me, a blatant waste of money

Meh. Sure its a waste of money, and a public servant shouldn't be doing shit like that in an economic crisis. On the same token, gimme a helicopter and a fuel card, and see if I dont use it to go to the ball field.

Just playing devil's advocate here but that's a state police bird and those pilots are required to fly a certain number of hours to maintain certification. Its highly likely this replaced a training flight and cost the taxpayers exactly the same as it would have otherwise.
Not that I expect the opposition to think of that...too busy making themselves look stupid foaming at the mouth over dumb shit |
