Gov. Chris Christie (R) “shot to national prominence as a cheese-steak-on-the-boardwalk Everyman who bluntly preached transparency and austerity as the antidote to bloated state budgets. But throughout his career in public service, Mr. Christie has indulged a taste that runs more toward Champagne at the Four Seasons,” the New York Times reports.
“He has also quietly let others pay the bills.”
“That tendency — the governor himself says he wants to ‘squeeze all the juice out of the orange’ — has put him in ethically questionable situations, taking benefits from those who stand to benefit from him.”
