Comments on: Christie’s Promises: Relief or Regression? http://www.academicperspective.com/2009/11/06/governor-elect-chris-christies-promises/ Wed, 25 May 2011 23:23:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Justin Block http://www.academicperspective.com/2009/11/06/governor-elect-chris-christies-promises/comment-page-1/#comment-138 Justin Block Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:32:44 +0000 http://www.academicperspective.com/?p=357#comment-138 Good points. Bottom line: if Christie can cut my families' property taxes ($22,000 currently, whereas they were around $8,000 earlier this decade), he's a success in my mind. I'm about to leave NJ public schools, and my brother only has a few years left too, so I'm sure whatever Christie does won't immediately affect my education. But as you said, Christie ran a great, vague campaign. All he had to do was not come off as overly incompetent and a victory would come (I guess Corzine has been that bad). My Uncle knows the Christie family, and apparently he quit drinking because he knew he wanted to be Governor, and is an incredibly straight-arrow guy. Just some quick personal facts. Good points.
