Ed Krayewski's Advice for Chris Christie's Big Government Problems

get smallerIn a span of just a week, New Jersey Governor
Chris Christie, he of possible presidential aspirations, found
himself at the center of two scandals; his
office’s involvement in lane closures that created
massive traffic delays at the George Washington Bridge, a brewing
controversy that he had managed to plausibly deny until the press
got a hold of text messages and e-mails to the contrary, and
his use of federal Sandy aid to shoot a series of
commercials starring him and his family, spending now under federal
review. The two scandals may not seem similar; one is about
political retribution, the other about potentially inappropriate
spending. Both are also, however, about the abuse of power. And,
more importantly, both illustrate flaws in government far more than
they do flaws in Christie. Both of the scandals, writes Ed
Krayewski, present an opportunity for the not-so-small government
Republican to start earning some small government credentials.
