Speaker John Boehner, (click here) who has since vowed to pass the package as soon as possible, reportedly yanked the bill Tuesday to get back at Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who split with him on the fiscal cliff fix. ‘There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims – the House majority and their speaker,’ the famously blunt governor said.
It is going to be next to impossible to shake his political status. You can call it a slick politician, but, he simply isn't. He was at the seashore with the residents, he was on their side with Congress and he was at the fire front with the firefighters. Where the brevity state's power matters, Christie was there to leverage it.
There was an investigation into the fire by the Attorney General's Office, wasn't there? I haven't heard whether that investigation was concluded. So, it will be awhile before all the information regarding the Fort Lee scandal is in.
The point is this: The Governor is admired by a lot of people. The state still has problems. It is going to be a while until all the facts are known and it is determined if crimes were committed and by whom.
"Good Policy is Good Politics." I sincerely expect the Democrats to go to work for the people of the state. I would expect tough questions to the Governor's Cabinet, but, it is best to let the investigations to transpire while the Democrats hold the state together and get things done. I heard that the rebuilding post Sandy isn't going as well as it should. Pursue it. Make it happen and be an ally to the residents.
To attempt to focus a great deal of time on finger pointing and seeking a case that may not exist regarding the Governor would doom the politics into trivial. No one wants to appear to be trivial. So, the best path for New Jersey Democrats is to be the heroes of the citizens that believe they have grievances. Be the people that return more and more help to those still effected by Sandy.
Do good works and the rest of it will fall in place. I do believe there are teachers and students in need of their attention, too.
Keep it real.
