Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno proving she knows as much about the economy as her boss

First, before the idea gets away from Johnny; New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno on her website aimed at a run for governor next year says New Jersey needs to create a more friendly environment for business. Um, again, check with your boss on that if you're having issues with how business gets done here after TEN credit downgrades on Chris Christie's watch. Perhaps you've met him.

Now, when Guadagno said yesterday that if New Jersey were to implement a $15 minimum wage we'd be forced to pump our own gas, for sure. Are we to live like savages? What kind of nation makes the citizenry pump their own gas? Yeah, every state but Oregon and here. If someone can make more money if Johnny has to pump his own gas, the line forms behind him. If Guadago understood the economy she'd know that someone getting a nice bump per hour isn't going to be setting up an eTrade account, that money will be going immediately back into the economy with a cell phone upgrade, maybe one more dinner out, a new laptop, a few extra credit hours, a better car and diapers ain't getting any cheaper. All things that help New Jersey's economy right NOW. What would happen to the local economy if suddenly thousands of people started buying these things? There you go.

Trust Johnny, getting your own gas isn't that bad and it's much quicker with one less middleman between your credit card and your bank. Tell Lt. Guadagno you're happy to pump your own gas if our friends and neighbors can get a real wage in today's world where there's always money for more abatements for Trump developments and bank bailouts, and auto company rescues.

Know who has been Governor of New Jersey the most this year?

Interesting article from Paul Mulshine at the Star-Ledger that starts over the comment Christie made at the last debate ..."When I was the governor of New Jersey..." and Mulshine found out he's not kidding. According to the NJ state Constitution, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno has been the Governor of NJ the most in 2015 thus far.

Chris Christie can start working on the resignation speech now -- HE KNEW!

Well first things first. First, which scandal are we talking about? The G.W. Bridge scandal. Christie's school chum (and Christie barely even knew the guy before he fired him *wink wink*) David Wildstein says Christie was well aware the entire time despite his "Aw shucks some bad people did some bad things" speech a few weeks back:

In a letter released by his lawyer, the official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. Christie’s who was appointed with the governor’s blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as “the Christie administration’s order” and said “evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference” three weeks ago.

So New Jersey, and to a lesser extent America, we got lied to. Johnny said the tells were there on the day Christie gave the speech he wasn't telling the truth. The question now is what are we gonna do about it? Are we gonna sit there and take it? Johnny sure isn't. Christie gave a two hour presser where he lied most of the time. Right to us. So, who do you believe NOW about the threat of holding back Hoboken relief for the right answer on the Rockefeller Property?

Seriously New Jersey, what are we gonna do about it?

Yet ANOTHER bombshell hits in the Christie as bully narrative, this one's almost worse than the first

According to Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer (and we here at the Jersey City Desk trust Ms. Zimmer when she says something, something we do NOT extend to the people in power in Trenton) Governor Christie's hit woman, Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno (she of the "I'm never taking questions why do you ask?" school of governance) told Zimmer that the Governor's office would really love to help the people of Hoboken after Superstorm Sandy and all but you see Dawn, you're against the Rockefeller Group project and that's really really important to the governor and until you come around and support that, yeeeah, we're not going to be able to help you help your citizens.

Now, place that image with Christie's telling of the tale he was all about the poor citizens of New Jersey who took the brunt of the storm and what a fighter he'd be for them with Washington and anybody not pulling their share. We now know a federal investigation has been launched into how CC has handled Sandy money. Now we hear it's quid pro quo with FEDERAL money, not even money out of New Jersey coffers, you help the Governor's friends and in turn we help your badly damaged city. Hoboken citizens should be outraged. No, torches and pitchforks at Christie and Guadagno's houses outraged.

But CC and Kimmy say they didn't say this. Just like nobody in the Governor's office had a hand in Bridgegate, just like Obama bureaucrats cost NJ schoolkids over $400 million. Christie's office has zero credibility, the Lt. Gov. has no credibility.

Dawn Zimmer does.

Zimmer went on to tell MSNBC that Kim Guadago told her she felt really bad about the deal, said in fact it shouldn't be happening but it was.

So, Hudson County, New Jersey, America, whom do you believe? A Governor with a known hit list of mayors or  a mayor trying to rebuild her city after a disaster?

Chris Christie didn't give a crap about anyone after that storm it turns out unless they could help him in turn. That's just disgusting.

Somebody get Governor Christie to the airport STAT! More snow on the way

Somebody with some time on their hands today might wanna run Governor Christie and Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno out to Newark Liberty as later tonight and tomorrow Hudson County and NYC are under a winter storm watch with 3-6" of snow possible and more likely probable through Friday evening.

Accuweather.com tells us more:

New York City and Hartford, Conn., can expect 3 to 6 inches of snow, but heavier amounts may be in the nearby suburbs.
The danger is this band of heavy snow will form in place and cannot be tracked in advance. As a result, it could set up 100 miles farther north into more of New England or farther south into more of the mid-Atlantic region.
