From Assembly Democratic spokesman Tom Hester Jr.:

“It’s flat out bizarre how this increasingly unpopular governor chooses to continually emphasize his failures, but sadly he seems to enjoy picking fights rather than working with others to get things done. The buck clearly doesn’t stop at him. Remember, Gov. Christie is the one who rejected property tax reform and job creation measures while giving millionaires a sweet tax break and hiking property taxes on everyone else. Now he’s run afoul of the courts for putting children at risk. He should stop these tantrums, take responsibility and show some leadership by learning how to work with others like a grown up.”
