Governor Chris Christie will try to regain some sense of normalcy on Thursday (2/13), Save Jerseyans, by holding his 110th town hall in Port Monmouth. It’s his first town hall since reelection and the nationalization of the ongoing Bridgegate scandal saga.
Thursday’s planned focus is Sandy aid, days after Governor Christie told a Keansburg audience that federal Sandy aid is expected to fall roughly $19 billion short. Whether allegations concerning the politicization of Sandy funds comes up is anyone’s guess.
The Governor’s official entourage includes Community Affairs Commissioner Richard Constable, Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin, Human Services Commissioner Jennifer Velez, and Economic Development Authority CEO Michele Brown.
11:00 a.m. is the start time at VFW Post 2179, located at 1 Veterans Lane. Residents can RSVP to TownHall.Middletown@gov.state.nj.us. Doors open at 10:00 a.m. A “Mobile Recovery Cabinet” will commence immediately following the town hall (around approximately 12:30 p.m.).
Glad to see my taxpayer money going to Christie’s self-promotion. I was worried that I wasn’t getting enough YouTube videos in my e-mail.
Oh good, the return of the taxpayer funded CC PR tour. Will his schtick change in term 2 and the #Bridgegate revelations? Wonder if Drewniak will be there, or be receding in the shadows?
Courageous and necessary.
Interesting date choice. Nearly all the legislature (especially the Dems) and much of the State House press corps will be on the Chamber of Commerce train trip to DC.
