MAYORS BULLIED BY CHRISTIE FORM SUPPORT GROUP

MAYORS BULLIED BY CHRISTIE FORM SUPPORT GROUP
POSTED BY ANDY BOROWITZ

NEWARK (The Borowitz Report)—A support group for mayors bullied by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie held its first meeting today at the Prudential Center arena, in Newark.

Organizers of the gathering pronounced themselves pleased with the turnout, as bullied officeholders from all over the state filled the eighteen-thousand-seat venue.

The support group was the brainchild of Carol Foyler, the bullied mayor of Sea Ridge, New Jersey.

“All of these mayors have their own painful stories to share,” Mayor Foyler said. “We wanted to give them a safe space to do that.”

The event was interrupted fifteen minutes in, however, when power to the Prudential Center was abruptly cut off, plunging the arena into darkness.

A spokesman from Gov. Christie’s office said that the sudden power outage was part of a routine electricity study.

The Christie administration is in trouble........my guess is that mayors and ex-mayors are talking to each other regarding their experiences dealing with the Christie administration.

or not. There's freaking enough of them

And, many others in New Jersey who have suffered under the slurs and smears from the Christie Bullies Inc. I have a feeling they're going to be quite Supportive of each other and have quite a few supporters across the Country.

thanks she~

This one's on how to not appear like a bully. Amazingly, it stars Christie's Uncle Kremey as the bully.

Contact info for NJ Governor
http://www.state.nj.us/governor/contact/

There are multiple opportunities; for example, education (lying and corruption are bad examples for our kids); tourism (visiting, but Kim Guadagno is obviously a liar--can we drive on NJ streets?)

I've lived/live still in many parts of NJ, so here is a list of zip codes that can be helpful, on Pine St., Maple Ct. S.Main St; Ocean St. or wherever your dreams may go.
