Christie otoh, posed for photo ops on the Jersey Shore, didn't seem able to provide for the poorest people while cavorting with the wealthy 'businesses'.

But Dems feel for the photo ops while ignoring all the complaints from less fortunate victims and now to fine out on top of that he was misusing money that was intended for the victims, is disturbing.

In light of the recent disturbing disclosures concerning Governor Chris Christie's flagrant misuse of federal Sandy aid money, the collective of storm survivors and their allies who organize under the Occupy Sandy New Jersey banner are hereby calling on residents of New Jersey to join us in Trenton in Occupying outside the Capitol starting this Saturday, January 18th, at noon. We intend to maintain our camp through Chris Christie's re-inauguration festivities on Tuesday, January 21st.

They've been waiting a long time to get the help they need. The whole article is worth reading to understand why they are doing this.

Thanks for the link ...
