Your Patch Dollars At Work: Never, EVER Take the State Helicopter To Your Kid's Baseball Game
By now, many of you have seen the shots of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie dropping in on his son's baseball game via helicopter and on the taxpayer's dime.
How do we know we're doing our job here at Patch? When police officers threaten to unleash their dogs on you; lawyers bluff and bluster, and media outlets across the nation pick up your work.
In the most recent case of Patchers making a difference in their respective communities, our team in New Jersey managed to single-handedly kick off a national media storm by snapping a few pictures of their governor using a state police whirlybird to make his son's ballgame.
The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, nightly news across all three networks and countless blogs, news sites, and newscasts from local to national all picked up on the resulting controversy and questions are being asked.
