http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/05/report_christie_approaching_record_for_credit_rating_downgrades.htmlGov. Chris Christie is one short of the state record for the number of credit rating downgrades for an administration, according to a report by Bloomberg News.
With five credit rating downgrades over his four-plus years in office, Christie is just shy of the record of six accumulated by Gov. James E. McGreevey, though McGreevey presided over his drops in less than three years in office.
During his tenure, Christie has seen the states credit rating dropped twice by Fitch Ratings, twice by Standard & Poors and once by Moodys Investor Service.
Currently, both Fitch and Moodys maintain negative outlooks, which could signal further downgrades are on the way.

It must be a race to the bottom with Brownbackistan (Kansas).

Christie is not that bright and has been playing political games. These games are coming back to haunt him
