The Governor Christie sideshow, better known as a Town Hall meeting, will be coming to Middletown this Thursday. It will be the110th Town Hall meeting that Christie has held since taking office in 2010 but more importantly it will be the first Town Hall meeting since the Bridgegate lane closure scandal and accusations of using Hurricane Sandy aid money to extract political endorsements from Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer and others, engulfed his administration last month.
According to the various news reports and the invite below, the main focus of this Town Hall meeting will be on Superstorm Sandy relief and recovery efforts. While we may now know what Governor Christie intends will be talking about Thursday morning, it's what he won't be talking about that will be a lot of people's mind.
I wish I could be there but unfortunately some people have to work:

I'm sure if they keep the cameras in tight on the Christie Team it may appear to the gullible that he maintains his popularity.
Perhaps I'm gullible but I sure hope not. Thus far I've found your Governor to be direct and more forthcoming than most past Governors being accused of a wide range of wrong doings.
I live in Massachusetts and we've had our fair share of corruption. Based on my experience I would say that Christie is either honest or incredibly naïve. I mean who would have a two hour press conference, lie to the good people of NJ and the nation, and think he wouldn't get caught. Time will tell, it always does.

Don't they know that people have to go to work to pay for the highest taxes in the nation? Especially in Middletown. Christie must be coming in to announce his Presidential candidacy, like his announcement for a 2nd term.
Meanwhile, people are still not in their homes due to the bureaucratic delays in Trenton.
Due to the weather, this event has been postponed until 2/18 (presumably still at 11am, though):

Jonathan,
Thank you, you are correct. Due to being under the weather and having to go to work I just haven't had time to post.
