Chris Christie Eats up his Taxpayer-Funded Expense Allowance…Literally
During his first two years as governor, Christie blew nearly $83,000 on food and beverages at MetLife Stadium, presumably to wine-and-dine friends and allies at NFL football games. But it’s unclear where a lot of Christie’s food allowance spending went because his office refused to disclose more details. “While Christie returns surplus funds to the state each year, Treasury officials say he does not submit receipts or accounting for the public monies he spends,” Mark Lagerkvist reported.
