With his record under national scrutiny, Gov. Chris Christie’s delivered his State of the State address. He laid out his plans for the Garden State’s future and characterized his tenure in office as having turned an economic calamity into solid growth.

Republican strategist Roger Bodman and Democratic strategist Bill Pascrell III discuss the governor’s speech with NJTV News Anchor Mary Alice Williams and Correspondent Michael Hill. The group talked about how the governor failed to mention the Transportation Trust Fund, which is expected to run dry in the summer; the possibility of an income tax increase; how Christie talked about expanding services like mental health offerings and charter schools without outlining a way to pay for those; and how Democrats and Republicans can work together to move the state forward.
