It is really so hard to say that he's being wasteful? It's not necessary to defend everything a politician does just because they are a favorite. It's waste no matter how you spin it.
It sure is. Although, contrary to the extreme ignorance shown in the first post, its nothing new. It started with Republican Governor Tom Kean, who used a helicopter about once a day.
Interestingly enough, his successor Democratic governor sold a couple of those helicopters to recover from a decade of sky high spending. Sadly, spending back then was a miniscule fraction of what it was during the Corzine years.
