I lived in New Jersey for a year. In the old days the place was known as a toxic waste dump. Then it went down hill to a Leftist waste dump.
Much of NJ is absolutely beautiful, with miles of beach, rural countryside and - where I own a home - hundreds of farms dedicated to raising the country’s thoroughbred horses. The toxic dump you are referring to is the Rahway-Newark part of the state. That is where all the industry is. That’s actually a good thing.
Christie’s shown himself a creep by refusing to condemn the Ground Zero Mosque.
