America's Biggest Hypocrite: @GovChristie
A challenge for Governor Chris Christie's defenders: try to reconcile the following news stories (all emphases mine).
Gov. Chris Christie and First Lady Mary Pat last year made the most money since the governor first took office, according to tax returns the governor's office released on Friday.
The Christies reported earning $912,460 in salaries, about $25,500 in royalties, nearly $13,000 in capital gains and some $7,800 in dividends in 2014, according to tax returns the governor's office released Friday afternoon.
Here's a year-by year breakdown of how much the Christies have reported since he took office:
2014: $970,161
The bulk of the income was earned by Mary Pat, who resigned from her job at the Wall Street specialty investment firm Angelo, Gordon & Co. in April. She stepped down shortly before the governor formally entered the 2016 presidential race.
Mary Pat reported earning $720,000 from Angelo, Gordon & Co. and $34,698 from Cantor Fitzgerald, another former employer. The governor reported earning $157,063 in taxable income from his job.
2013: $698,838
Tax returns released by the governor's office showed Mary Pat Christie earned $475,854 for her job as a director at Angelo,- See more at: http://jerseyjazzman.blogspot.com/2015/10/americas-biggest-hypocrite-govchristie.html#sthash.m5e6YPAR.dpuf
