he did this one time before. He didn't feel the need to pay back the state the first time. When he got caught this time, he decided to pay back for BOTH times he's done this.
maybe it's better he doesn't run in 2012. A few more years of growing up may help. Anyone who lines up a state car to drive him a few hundred feet from a helicopter is a little out of touch with spending restriction.
Gov. Christie reimburses N.J. for use of state helicopter to attend son's baseball games

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie and the state Republican Party will repay the state for two trips on a State Police helicopter to get to his son's baseball games.
The most recent ride, on Tuesday, drew national widespread criticism from those who questioned the governor's use of helicopter when he flew from downtown Trenton to Montvale, in Bergen County, to watch his son Andrew play baseball, and then to Princeton, where he met with a group of wealthy Republican donors from Iowa who traveled to New Jersey to try to persuade Christie to run for president in 2012.
The Republican State Committee has paid $1,232.29 for the flight from the Tuesday baseball game to Princeton, the Republican State Committee said today.
"The check has already been delivered," said party spokesman Rick Gorka.
Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for the governor, said Christie is reimbursing the state $1,232.30 for the flight to the game.
In addition, Christie is also paying $919.20 for a flight on Friday to see his son play in another baseball game. That flight was not previously disclosed.
