Christie returns to his shaky roots

Chris Christie administered oaths of offices for new, three-year terms to Republican freeholders Gene Feyl, Bill Chegwidden and John Murphy, the latter whom defeated Christie for re-election in a bitter 1997 freeholder race in which Christie finished last in a field of six candidates.

"I’m just thrilled to be back home here to participate in a place where it all started for me," said Christie. "It was 15 years ago I stood here as a brand new elected freeholder and participated in this same ceremony."

And two years later he was political roadkill.
