Outrage

Christie signed legislation that increases NJ gasoline tax by 23 cents per gallon.  I just learned that the figure isn't fixed.  It can change relative to the amount of gasoline sold in NJ.  So, if consumption goes own (probably due to increased gas prices) gas tax amount per gallon will go up.  WHOA! Talk about a double screw.  The tax goes from one of the lowest in the country to one of the highest and it could go higher, most likely when the price of gas goes higher.  You have to be kidding!
Two Republicans state legislatures are trying to pursue a repeal because of the flexibility aspect.

Interesting, same day the gas tax details were publicized, Bridget Kelly testified under oath that Christie knew about the GW bridge lane closures before they happened.  Another witness testified that he told Christie that his staff members knew about the closures 4 minutes before Christie told a press conference that noone on his staff knew.

And Christie has become the subject of a whistleblower law suit to testify about what he knew. 

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Too bad that Christie is likely to veto legislation that would make drugs available to terminally ill people.  Oh well, /Christie will be gone soon enough.

Can we impeach him now?  The good news is that his political career is toast.
