If New Jersey Republican candidate Chris Christie didn't have enough controversy on his plate here's more. According to an unlikely source NJ 101.5 Chris Christie was issued tickets for speeding and driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle.
On a Saturday night in 2005 Chris Christie was issued tickets for speeding and driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. A tow truck showed up at the scene but Christie was allowed to drive the vehicle with his wife, kids and Michelle Brown back home according to his spokesperson.
All three tickets had the words "no deal" written on them. The spokesperson says Christie talked with the prosecutor, signed an affdavit pleading guilty and paid a substantial fine. The speeding ticket was reduced and the unregistered dimissed. The spokesperson says Christie does not recall who brought it up but acknowledges the fact that Christie was U.S. Attorney did come up. Christie has refused to return multiple calls asking for comment.
What's interesting is that NJ 101.5 is no fan of Gov. Jon Corzine. The fact that they broke this story is astonishing in itself. Now that Christie's poll numbers are starting to drop, expect more shoes to drop, especially since Michelle Brown resigned from the campaign because of the loan he gave her.
In her resignation letter dated today, Michele Brown, the acting first assistant U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, said it has been an "honor and privilege" to serve, but she does not want to be "a distraction" for the office.
"I am extraordinarily proud of all the work we have done and all the good we have accomplished on behalf of the people of this state," Brown wrote. "I also know how important it is that we continue to pursue our mission, and I do not want to become a distraction from the critically important work we do."
Kudos to Bluejersey.net for keeping the hammer on Christie's corrupt campaign.
