I don't mind you disagreeing with my defense. I do mind the comment that I defend everything someone (Christie, in this case) does because he is "a favorite" of mine. I call out other favorites when I think they're wrong. I'll do the same for Christie when I think he's in the wrong. I don't think using the state helicopter when there is a time constraint is a waste. If he was making a habit out of it and there wasn't a time constraint, he'd be wrong.
Once still costs money, in a state that has financial problems, the Governor of all people should be looking to save money however possible. If it wasn't waste, he wouldn't be reimbursing the state. I stand by my previous comments.
