Barbara and I arrived at the Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial Hall in Melrose early but already a crowd of
Baker-Tisei supporters were out with signs supporting the ticket
for governor and lt. governor. When the doors opened at 10:30 we
were one of the first into the hall, but it was packed quickly.
Sen. Richard Tisei, Charlie Baker's running mate, opened the
event by introducing Charlie Baker and welcoming New Jersey Governor Chris
Christie, to raucous standing applause. Christie immediately did his
trademark suit jacket removal, and Charlie followed with a grin.
Christie regaled the standing-room-only audience with his story
of how he won in Blue State New Jersey against an incumbent
Democrat and an independent distraction candidate. Sound
familiar? |

Barbara asked Gov. Christie to tell the crowd
about his version of Proposition 2½. Earlier this year CLT
worked with his staff and NJ Republican legislators to help
draft and sell it to a reluctant NJ legislature, predominantly
Democrat. (NJ doesn’t have the initiative petition process).
When it wasn't included in the legislature's budget he vetoed it
-- then recalled and held the legislature hostage over the 4th
of July weekend -- "See you tomorrow," he replied day after day
when they kept resisting. The NJ legislature finally gave in,
gave Christie and taxpayers their property tax relief!
Sitting to Barbara's right is state GOP chairwoman, Jennifer
Nassour, and standing behind her is 6th District Republican
candidate for Congress, Bill Hudak. |
