Chris Christie Spent 82 000 In Taxpayer Money On Concessions At NFL Games

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) spent more than $82,000 in taxpayer money on concessions at NFL games -- a sum that Republicans later reimbursed to the state Treasury to avoid impropriety.
According to a New Jersey Watchdog analysis of records from the governor's office that was published Monday, Christie used $300,000 of his $360,000 state allowance over five years to purchase food, alcohol and desserts

Lets see....Christie eats $1000 in hotdogs and beer and puts it on his state credit card?

Yea...paying it back after you got caught is always a good excuse

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Non issue and a waste of effort.

If he keeps up that pace we might have to nickname him "Moochelle".

In addition to his $175,000 a year salary, the governor receives $95,000 a year in expense advances, paid quarterly by the state. In the state budget, it is listed as “an allowance of funds not otherwise appropriated and used for official receptions on behalf of the state, the operation of an official residence, for other expenses.”

On 58 occasions, Christie used a debit card to pay a total of $82,594 to Delaware North Sportservice, which operates the concessions at MetLife. The governor’s office did not provide any receipts, business reasons or names of individuals entertained, but defended the expense.
“The official nature and business purpose of the event remains the case regardless of whether the event is at the State House, Drumthwacket or a sporting venue,” said Christie’s press secretary Kevin Roberts in a prepared statement.

'...and desserts...' is the best part of that story.

In all fairness, I have to admit that I would look like Chris Christie if I ate as much as I'd like to...

...alas, the perils of self-control.

Now you're getting it...now think hard.

You're chastising Christie for something all most all politicians do. Your bias is showing

 

[ABikerSailor]

Chris Christie isn't presidential material.

And...................I'm surprised it took people this long to catch him doing stupid crap like this. Anyone remember when he took a police chopper to get to his son's game?

How much have you people bitched about it, real or imagined?

Bitch about Christie now. Show you're not a partisan twat.
