" You getting it's not clear we are really excited about an excellent president has that they plan tonight this is running -- yeah William Paterson University -- center -- obviously visas student driver and a plan to evolve if you have questions for our quick tariff on Portland."

" Stance I didn't want by the end of governor Corzine I am graduating this spring. And I'm really foolish and thank you and I'm very concerned about the job market this is an -- problems what do you plants do."

" To address out -- job market within the state."

" Well we had. The first in the nation economic recovery plan where we're giving up 3000 dollar grants to small businesses -- 33000. Applications. War businesses that were going to hire people who hold them for jobs were probably gonna have to extend that. Very well received by small business across the -- we put tax credits down for equipment purchases. And I've been working with the president of course a regular basis to make sure the press that our national economic stimulus program -- you -- providing turn real business. In the country -- in the economic direction of the country. And investing in infrastructure making sure we're sustaining our investment in schools and and that's on -- really answering it. The question we just came out about infrastructure parents two months if not how with a this program -- you know -- tax credits for urban wheel hubs. And -- higher crime and education institution in public private partnerships. And we've already -- response to get 1600 job having more audio quality and I Jersey how to just this week announced job market governor Jon Stewart had -- end of the day you know I'm."

" Could be more and happy to take mr. -- and get you dictionary is today it's only you can take a four billion dollar tax increase and all the tax cut. As we go. That's reality yeah let me turn your question I think the question I get any addresses questions -- the other relevant question when you're out. You're very concerned about -- getting the job and you should be. Because if we continue. To have as -- for the last two years in -- The worst business tax climate in America here in New Jersey. The worst climate for small business. In the last eight years 450000. People have left the state of New Jersey with. Net and they've taken the job with the nation went into this with that is the problem that we have a New Jersey and have to solve it is -- too expensive to live audiences. I come too expensive to operate -- business here. It's -- businesses are leaving for states like Pennsylvania and Delaware. In either order into Connecticut really causing heart aches and they know we're we're gonna be here and I really look anything can serve as any you know government and essentially -- no longer health care -- last tax increases really every year. And I don't -- isn't mr."

" Zach and I answered Roberts roberts' son already know by tax plan is -- we're gonna have of the terror perhaps more balanced -- where we're -- his tax system in New Jersey not so reliant on the property taxes. Getting corporate tax. Income taxes reduce over. Will make this -- more attractive not only for the people who you know are here -- also and that's that's how local parishioners they're not coming into visiting. We also should take some additional money. That we can find through our cost savings. You to invest in higher education because right now we're the fiftieth out of fifty states the only -- this invest in higher education the last decade if it's shameful of course. Where we are that putting ourselves -- position where our questions occur some of them are staying here it's great number of also going to stick. We -- high tech our future they -- green taxes would not benefit from Biotech as you all sorts of things that that these are the high tech jobs of the future and high paying jobs that. If we can do that and if we develop better clap -- relationships between higher education and industry. Between that and that -- tax cuts and balancing the system we can make this fair more competitive and more attractive to businesses."

" Thank you missed today governor -- thirty seconds for -- well first of all let me agree with mr. -- mr. -- I was. Magazine regulatory Hanoi well I'm allowed to access your signatures consequently in -- room 350 I that would index any -- actually -- last four years. Another example is that last Tuesday mr. -- It's a multi time world that telling people that we had the highest unemployment rate of 13% to that we have been him below the national average 120 entries that -- Since the recession we did agree with. This is just misleading which blocking down the statement this -- not really -- and thank our governor ought to have a positive but he. Thank you governor if he can't help -- one dollars and move water around -- this -- social initiatives that face at the state of New Jersey we have we begin with Joanne Lee. From William Paterson University a question for mr. Crist --"

" Mr. Christie at the negative campaigning in this race has been described as ugly. What would you say Canadian Jersey voters who want and expect clear campaign messages on the important issues. Rather than ads that attack political opponents."

" Well let's say -- I'm waiting for two. And I will tell you. You know I think tonight would be good night for -- to -- everybody you know little secret. You know over the last number of months. The governor his campaign has been whispering around -- and plying around certain things so let's just. That you all in our little secret the case you hadn't noticed over the last eight years -- the public life. I'm slightly overweight. Now apparently this has become a great cause for discussion in the state in New Jersey at so let me just live right after -- it. I am. I -- I struggled with my -- for a good part of my life so sure many you have in this audience and many people at home. I don't know what that has to do being governor New Jersey. And the worst part of it is I don't know why the governor just won't admit that that's exactly what he and his staff have been doing. Didn't bother me when I was US attorney in -- people in jail and it won't bother me to be an active governor -- way to get off that's up to about two. Thank you mr. Christie mr. deck."

" no flooding. Thank you very much."

" Mr. that I think I may not -- campaigns I will not run negative campaigns. I pledge to not do it and I haven't done it and I continued not to do it it's only serve to get people in this state turned off. They're sick of it. Both campaigns Republican and Democrat have embarrassed our statement is kinda negative campaigning. I'm sick of it I know most voters are sick of it and is -- they spent millions of dollars a special interest money. Breaking going around me. Campaign finance laws and New Jersey by funneling money into Washington the Republican and Democratic Governors Association only to be coming back here in negative campaigning in mud slinging happens nobody cares so we want to know what we're doing to fix this statement and that's what we should be focusing on from moment one. They're campaigning only serve to suppress votes because it turns people off -- and cynical about the system and says you know what I wanna vote. Because it's so nasty so let's do. What's the right thing which is safe and it's negative campaigning in focus on -- real -- widening base doesn't think we're running out of I think you were to happen is that."

" Yeah I -- obviously -- We'll flexible I don't player who fought out supporters to -- I do care about what manner of things I think -- stated I can't support -- incumbent. Hello -- where I can help you. I don't know I don't know I don't like the other guy and his company that should -- Shouldn't provide the -- earlier this the other -- is insurance policies people citizens in this positive when you're gonna -- this and that's why I'm mandated sales still hasn't changed I know different political campaign make sure that woman had 48 hours day. -- War yes but you were negative that I don't get serious that voters -- haven't been here for you -- just simply get the noncallable for the other guy's hand you know -- gates obviously."

" Let me just finish -- points I think the answer our about the negative campaigning has turned into specifics about health care -- Without a reference to obesity that I've heard him anyway."

" What he needed heatedly in the definitely doesn't but it hasn't -- what was what was the negative that it was about mammograms everything's and that came out -- lot of other than any other solutions."

" I was you know condolences and and who want to -- thank you seriousness. Mr. Christie. I don't know but in the in the same state as the governor Arnold watching this TV ads I have to tell you the truth. You know we all know with the governor's campaign has been all about that some. And what it's been all about is character assassination. You've all seen it. You -- each one million dollars plus. Talk about everything from how I drive car to how much -- whether I stay long enough in congress and it as any activity created shop for all of you. -- that -- a -- are legally drive more harmful to realize that people probably want the -- will help us."

" and I don't actually don't do anything negative light -- based consulting -- but he didn't raise the issues of what he would do. As opposed to the record raising fears about its way to mark but my -- but my concern would be with Chris Christie is that. There are some ethical issues and when you put yourself on it -- when you put yourself that you paint yourself ads -- champion who's busting corruption. You have to be very -- your own behavior. And indeed some things like that sort of that has not been -- right and -- and you and so I think that's -- legitimate and."

" But it was -- line of attack because that's from the very beginning when -- announces -- February. He said this is what my campaign's all about -- about means being the kind of guy that I am in two different and Jon Corzine. And was all about his his personality they're -- Supreme Court justice -- text well. I think that's -- practice. Standing broad spectrum of our society this is probably -- issues of people -- data that -- immediately that my grandma's. I think at this -- let them very Chris Matthews took place in the courtroom and understands laws and the rest of work but I don't think and the -- are judged as people believe that we're just. The associated my own social issues are actually to -- I don't think we quality so much about -- the Democrats and Republicans has been a tradition somehow in New Jersey. And having some balance between Democrats and Republicans why foundation and it's not a Democrat Alan welcome living. -- Pennsylvania showed that it warrants that are Karzai and has made I wanna say well. There's an issue in the chattering class -- issues for voters who really and it. Recently there's not much allowed inside ballgame had -- you know that's what they have not mention his and I would it Corzine administration is -- people have continued to lead up. -- he has a front office of new people all the time. That's a problem when -- managing -- statement. I. And I had not. Studied enough to the Supreme Court justices individual activities it is Wednesday."

" Better now I've heard staggering number of times in interviews that I Brad say I don't have that information there I'm not sure is that okay -- I think it's okay for -- because he's. He's really gone what I'm going to be candid on the putting out there I'm gonna raise -- you know I think he's really. Positioning himself as someone who is different and -- even do that you have to behave differently however you should but I have -- not know. We get away with it and nothing get away with it that's -- that's what happens -- music calculated -- today. Say you know what I can studied this that the other but I can't say that but if I -- named as a lot better forehand. To do that -- to try to answer a question and not had -- I had the information. I notice he's keeping his answers as free as possible as opposed him."

" He was a Republican and democratic could get away with that he'd be the focus right in and literally speaking -- have fun but the same thing with this property tax plan the Democrat or Republican and put up a -- and then. Griffin -- they would eviscerate Andy's going to know we can spend money -- And that they -- that was a game certainly -- that's kind that the US needed to try hard earned and the Corzine campaign. Is that they're trying to portray him somebody looking at the thing that's the world that the using inside you campaign doesn't -- his familiar Chris -- since he -- US attorney. Line."

" And a sense of compassion from where he -- faster growing up in Mercer county justice Sam Alito. I would be someone who would be a model for me because Justice Alito is someone who understands the plight of people. Every day that came before him both as -- US attorney. Minister circuit court judge announced Supreme Court justice he has the kind of brilliant legal mind would want anyone who's going to be in a court of last resort. You want someone who thinks. Feels these problems and understands how to resolve the from a legal perspective you also -- Supreme Court that understands its role. And the supreme court's rules not to legislate supreme court's role is -- to make laws from the bench if they want to legislate that should work for the legislature. What they should do on the supreme courts interpret the laws and interpret the constitution. As the Justice Alito has gone in his career and those that that the -- we're recruiting managers in the."

" A lawyer and Manila as a lawyer. Vetted by the public the public have more of an interest in and I think than they ever had with any other -- because of that any empathy. Issue that was raised and also the ability to relate to people and a and not to legislate from the bench because of the things that she had said in the past that and Latin -- black --"
