arrested for having signs, and he still thinks our biggest problem is CUTTING SPENDING! What does the state spend? Not money because we DO NOT HAVE ANY!

Cut CORRUPTION, restore SOUND MONEY, restore LIBERTY!

Steve, you are the best thing this state has seen in a very long time. C'mon NJ!

Get out of your funk and start showing support for real reform. Attend a tax party, call your congressman.

@xr2z1 You'd worry about a helicopter ride compared to dozens of lavish vacations in air force one that cost multi millions? Wow,you really are a good little surf!

He didn't lose any money hollow head, it was already lost. The state is in more debt than almost any state, all he did was make the teachers pay THEIR FAIR SHARE with healthcare and retirement like everyone else!

The cash cow is no more,you better get off mommy government teets real soon. But likely you'll stay a usefull idiot

@ricadrew ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!!!Chris Christie has brought nothing but bad to this state.He lost a shit load of money for the s!chools,yet he takes a helicopter ride to his sons baseball game.Also,hes a republican!!I mean..hes a god damn republican.Its people like you who are the reason why he got elected and why this stste is in worse conditin than it already was

Though I do like Christie allot (so far) I think Lonegan would have been the best choice!

By the way School officials later apologized and police dropped the charges. I would of sued the cops and the school board for unlawful arrrest and owned them. I would of called the state police on the local police and had them arrested. haha So glad Corzine is history. That fool spent over $200 million of his own money on his election and re-election campaigns what a jackass and took no salary as governor wonder why he would do that. hmmmm guess corruption is profitable somehow haha

Good thing Gov. Christie took over this guy would be a hero today instead of a criminal back then. As far as I am concerned the board of education is paid by tax payers thus making it public property. Gov. Christie has reminded teachers why they began teaching not to become wealthy but for the kids. Avg new jersey teacher makes $58,000 plus a pension and heath/dental for life for their family which costs the state of new jersey an extra $30,000 a year. Add it up $88,000 each teacher makes in NJ

i think these cops need to review their oath. what happened to " uphold and defend the constitution of the united states" fucking dumbass cops. i must have ben hearing things in high school when they were talking about freedom of speech and assembly

Welcome to communist New Jersey.

the most action Bogota had since handing out traffic tickets.

Besides, I am 100% certain that a Former Mayor knows the laws. If he were doing something illegal, he wouldn't have told the cops to arrest him because that would be bad for his image. This is, in all actuality, a good thing. He is standing up for the Right of The People to Petition their Government for a Redress of Grievances.
