Gov. Chris Christie and his wife made more than $500,000 over the past 12 months, according to financial disclosure reports released this morning by the State Ethics Commission.
The bulk of the money came from Mary Pat Christie, who reported making over $500,000 from her job as a vice president at the financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald. Chris Christie made between $50,000 and $100,000 from his job as governor, which he began in January, and did not take a salary while campaigning.
It’s impossible to get a complete financial picture from the reports, which only list seven general ranges of income, starting from between $1,000 to $5,000 to the highest category at greater than $500,000.
Christie criticized the lack of detail in the state financial disclosure reports when running for office, but issued an executive order in May leaving them largely unchanged and delaying the disclosure deadline from May until yesterday. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/08/gov_chris_christie_and_wife_ma.htmlFirst we lose $400 million in Federal education grants because his education toadie Bret (Shyster) Swindler fucked up the application, now it turns out the bastard doesn't want to disclose his finances EVEN THOUGH HE CAMPAIGNED ON FULL DISCLOSURE.
