Just go to the video

I basically find all of this hoopla trying to tie Gov. Chris Christie to the corrpution, or at least to the covering-up of corruption to be amusing. Why don't they just go to the video?

At Gov. Christie's Town Hall meeting in Vernon back on June 28, I publically asked the governor what he was doing about the corruption in Wantage Township and Sussex County (All Republican). The governor responded that he hadn't read my letter but that he would read it. It is now seven months later and nada. Well not quite, three months later, in an article in the Sept. 28 edition of The Star-Ledger quoted the governor as stating: "Remember this, in four years of this administration, there has not been a whisper, not a hint, of anybody doing anything to deal for themselves." I am left to wonder, does the governor suffer from convenient memory lapses? As a registered Republican, I would hate to think the governor is intentionally lying to us.

The governor's town hall meeting in Vernon was apparently recorded and was broadcast live. Therefore, unless the governor was able to have someone alter every recording of that meeting, just go to the video.

But then it gets even more interesting. On her way from the Vernon Town Hall Meeting, a Wantage township resident stopped at Wantage Township Committeeman, former mayor, Bil Gaechter's place of business. Committeeman Gaechter told her that he had already been told that no one has anything to worry about because "Steve, Hall and Gary" had all told the governor that Bill Gettler was a "nut case." Within the next couple of days I was told by a couple of people that Wantage Mayor Ronald Bassani had told them the same thing. For those people who don't know, "Steve," is state Sen. and former county freeholder Steven Oroho, "Hal" is N.J. Commissioner of Labor and former Sussex County Freeholder Director, Harold Wirths and "Gary" is Sussex County Surrogate, former state Assemblyman, former Sussex County Freeholder Director Gary Chiusano.

So the cover-up of this political corruption ws immediate and it apparently included a member of the governor's Cabinet, a state senator, a Sussex County official and the members of the Wantage Township Committee. All Republicans! Apparently they all believe that anyone who would try to expose political corruption in the state of New Jersey must be a "nut case." Does it really surprise anyone that a Republican candidate for the presidency, from New Jersey, doesn't want the voting public to know about all of this Republican political corruption in New Jersey?

Just go to the video.
Shouldn't there have been some resignations? Prosecutions?
