\”SMOKING GUN\” LAW FOUND PROVING GOV. CHRISTIE’S OCTOBER SPECIAL ELECTION IS ILLEGAL

\”We already knew Governor Christie\’s call for a special election in October was politically self-serving, but now we know it is clearly illegal,\” said Phyllis Salowe-Kaye, Executive Director of New Jersey Citizen Action. \”As a former U.S. Attorney, Christie should be guided by the law and as Governor he should be guided by what’s best for the state. This ‘smoking gun’ legislation makes it clear that the legislative intent was to save taxpayer dollars – the exact opposite of Governor Christie’s undemocratic decision, which is unnecessarily costing taxpayers an estimated $12 million.\”
