Island Beach State Park closed... except for Gov. Christie
 [NPR] What's worse that a government shutdown closing your state's beaches on a sweltering holiday weekend?Now we know: Seeing photos of the governor -- a key player in the budget standoff that caused the shutdown -- enjoying one of those empty beaches on Sunday afternoon like it was his own private island. On Sunday, the New Jersey Star-Ledger took aerial photos of Christie and his family on the pristine Island Beach State Park, where there's a governor's residence. The governor is lounging in a beach chair, sand between his toes. Around him, people play paddleboard and enjoy beverages. That afternoon, at a press conference in Trenton about the shutdown, Christie was asked if he had gotten any sun that day, the newspaper reports. "I didn't," he reportedly said. "I didn't get any sun today." Posted by: Besoeker 2017-07-03 |
