Christie Now Seeking a Book Deal

“New Jersey lawmakers are once again discussing a bill that would allow Gov. Chris Christie to cash in on a book deal while in office,” the Bergen County Record reports.

“State law bars Christie from profiting if he publishes a book while in office. But with a year left in his term and his hopes dimming for a job in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, Christie is now in talks with top Democratic and Republican lawmakers to change the law this month to allow him to cash in with a book deal.”

“As part of a deal quietly in the works, the budgets for lawmakers’ staff salaries would increase.”
