Hello friends and welcome to The Johno Show. Chris Christie is gaining momentum in New Hampshire by using the same strategy former New York Mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani did by invoking 9/11 to gain support. Let's talk about what Governor Christie has done for New Jersey and what he'll do to the country if elected president. In 2014 New Jersey’s job growth was the second worst in the nation. Christie himself eliminated 4,000 police officers and 6,000 construction jobs from the state. New Jersey’s debt has been downgraded under Christie’s watch on six separate occasions. Christie blatantly interfered with a $9 billion dollar lawsuit against oil giant Exxon Mobil letting them off the hook for billions. His views on the Syrian refugee crisis are appalling. He is quoted as saying he doesn’t think Syrian orphans under 5 should be admitted into the United States as they have no family here. He questioned how we would take care of them. You know, cause we’re a third world nation without any resources. He should take a trip to the Statue of Liberty and read that Huddled Masses statement again. And let's just spend a couple of minutes on Bridgegate. If you're not familiar with this gem; it's when vindictive members of Christie's political team took revenge against his rivals and shut down so many lanes on the George Washington Bridge that traffic came to a complete standstill. Of course Christie's hands are clean or at least that's what his hand-picked team of lawyers were paid one million dollars to conclude with their report absolving him of any wrongdoing. Thankfully, the investigation has escalated into a federal prosecution so we'll see if he really gets away scott free. There is speculation that Christie's legal team has inappropriately hid 9,428 emails and other documents related to the Bridgegate scandal. Sound just like someone running on the Democrats side doesn’t it. Among the hidden documents are emails to and from the governor's personal and work email accounts as well as a calendar entry from the week when the order was given to close the lanes at the George Washington Bridge. Jersey City Mayor Fulop is someone who I strongly support on nearly every issue and I even hope he runs for governor in the years to come. I just believe that in regards to this issue he’s wrong. And I’m concerned he's being pressured by groups like the Friends of Liberty State Park and the New Jersey Sierra Club to keep the park exactly the way it is now. But understand, Liberty State Park has 1,212 acres, a $3.5 Million dollar budget and loses $2 Million dollars every year. Compared to New York's Central Park, which has 843 acres and gets its budget from the Central Park Conservancy which provides 85% of the Park’s $42.4 million dollar budget. The Conservancy gains $352 million dollars in revenue and sits on a $690 million dollar endowment. Central Park has great places to eat including Tavern on the Green, The Loeb Boathouse, and even a vegetarian restaurant. An even better comparison is Lincoln Park also located in Jersey City with only 273 acres. It has a catering hall called Casino in the Park. It's a beautiful hall with a lot of history including in 1963, when Frank Sinatra attended his parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Liberty State Park doesn't even have a decent restaurant like Lincoln Park has to draw in the crowds. In terms of art, we can compare Central Park, which has the amazing Bethesda Fountain, Alice in Wonderland, and Balto statues. Lincoln Park in Jersey City has the beautiful Lincoln in the Mystic at the eastern entrance, plus a civil war memorial, The Farrier Memorial that honors the Volunteer Fire Department, and an 18 foot Celtic Cross dedicated to the great Irish Famine. Liberty State Park only has two monuments one dedicated to the Holocaust and the other to mark September 11th. Both are stunning and inspiring but just do the math of acreage to statues and again we see Liberty State Park is vastly underutilized.
