Governor Christie obviously didn't know he was dealing with a con man.
Business sense disqualifies you from being NJ Governor. This is the state that put $300m into the Revel casino when Morgan Stanley was willing to eat a $1 billion writeoff.
And $millions more of taxpayer money into the great white elephant, the American Dream Mall (as if NJ needed another mall or more traffic on I-95)
Perfectly wrong timing as usual. Which is why private business should remain private.
