Chris Christie: 'This Is Not About Teachers'

Governor Christie appearing in Robbinsville today.

Supremely awesome video.

By the way, Christie announced the other day that he's right in line with the federal government efforts on education. Not exactly an extremist like the union wants to portray him as.

Gov. Chris Christie today predicted dire consequences for New Jersey if his property tax plan is not adopted, saying government officials and public worker unions must be forced to make difficult choices to live within taxpayers' means.

"I understand that it's going to cause some consternation in the beginning, but here's the bottom line: We don't do this, the state is going to go broke, and we're not going to have anybody who's going to be able to afford to live here," the governor told an audience of about 150 people today. "And if I've got to make a choice between angering the teachers union and saving the state where I was born and raised, I'm saving the state where I was born and raised."
