KochWatch.org, a Washington-based website that tracks the actions of
billionaire conservative Republican powerbrokers David and Charles Koch,
has asked Gov. Chris Christies office for all records related to his
secret trip to Vail, Colorado on June 26 to give the main address at a
political gathering hosted by the brothers.
.
Christie left New Jersey for the Sunday appearance without telling the
public or news media, something he has done at least three other times for
political matters since taking office 20 months ago.
.
Kevin Zeese, a KochWatch attorney, told NewJersey Newsroom.com of the
records request Thursday. He said KochWatch.org also wants to see the
state Attorney Generals office and the Legislature conduct what he
described as an ethics investigation into Christies habit of disappearing
without only a handful of aides and the State Police knowing his
whereabouts.
.
Yesterday, we filed a records request with the governor's office for all
documents related to his secret trip to the Koch brothers' retreat, Zeese
said. And we asked that the request be expedited. Once we get that, we
will know which direction to go as to an ethics complaint or criminal
investigation.
.
Zeese added, We have also asked for the Legislature to conduct its own
investigation and hold hearings. Clearly, Governor Christie did not want
anyone to know about the trip or his keynote address. The question now is
did that violate any laws or rules, did he use state resources for the
trip, and was there any quid pro quo involved.

Audio: Chris Christie Lets Loose at Secret Koch Brothers Confab

With security extraordinary on the seminar's opening nightaudio speakers
around the periphery of the outdoor dining pavilion blasted out static to
thwart eavesdroppersDavid Koch introduced Gov. Christie as "my kind of
guy." (The two had previously met in private at Koch's New York City
office, he revealed.) Before long, seminar attendees were roaring with
laughter as Christie regaled them over dessert, telling them how, in his
first weeks in office, he'd exercised extraordinary executive powers to
impound billions of dollars in planned spending. ("The good news for all
of you and for me," he said, "is that the governorship in New Jersey is
the most powerful constitutional governorship in America.")
.
Christie went on to explain how he'd convinced the state's Democratic
majority leaders, against the wishes of most of their caucus, to help him
slash public-sector pensions and benefits. And he drew a bead on his next
major target: public-school teachers and their union. "That's where we
head next," Christie said. "We need to take on the teachers' union once
and for all, and we need to decide who is determining our children's
future, who is running this place. Them or us? I say it's us."
.
He presented his accomplishments in New Jersey as a model for curing the
nation's ills: "We know the answers. They're painful answers. We're going
to have to reduce Medicare benefits. We're going to have to reduce
Medicaid benefits. We're going to have to raise the Social Security age.
We're going to have to do these things. We're going to have to cut all
types of other government programs that some people in this room might
like."
.
The speech was classic Christie, but the governor expressed his views to
the Koch crowd with a candor that politiciansespecially those with a
reputation for having mainstream appealusually reserve for very select
audiences: He called New Jersey Democratic legislators "stupid" for
pushing for a tax on the wealthy that he'd previously rejected. He
mimicked the voice of his predecessor, Gov. Jon Corzine. And he boldly
proclaimed that he'd been elected because "their ideas are wrong and our
ideas are right."
