Former State Assemblyman Rick Merkt, who ran against Chris Christie in the primary for Governor, told Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine he doesn’t feel resentful that Christie stole his idea to cut funding for and eliminate the Council On Affordable Housing. What bothers the ex-assemblyman is that February’s here and Christie shows no signs of carrying it out.
"He didn’t make many promises," said Merkt. "This is a promise he can keep and honestly I don’t know why he wouldn’t keep it. This is just one front in the necessary confrontation with the court needed to re-establish democracy in New Jersey. I think it’s kind of sad that just two weeks into his governorship, Chris is shown to be a liar."
I guess Merkt and Christie won't be exchanging Valentines this year.
