After a hard day of firing teachers and beating up on other public employees because of his state's dire fiscal problems, it's only natural that a Republican Governor is going to want to kick back and enjoy some quality family time.

He paid for it out of his own pocket.
Seems like a caring parent thing to do.

What a lame-o!

What is going on???

i think he's mad because a governor used a state owned helicopter to go to his sons baseball game...governors are very busy, and he took time to go to his sons baseball game, to spend some time with his son and support the team, but that pisses art off for some reason...

As well it should.

yea, i guess they should be governing, not spending time with their families...

republican double standards strike again.............

They chose to govern and should not be using our dollars to spend time with their families, they should take that travel money and time out of their pay like we do. Gawd it should be so simple!!!

my dollars? i live in texas... not my money... and i didn't know maine paid new jerseys bills... and besides that, what is a qualification with a new job you are looking at? the perks that go with it, right? it isn't illegal, is it? did he break any laws? and since i am in texas, and you're in maine, and art is somewhere in liberalland, how does this effect any of us?

Oh if a democrat did this the fur would be flying......

Just one reasone no one realy takes these republicans seriously.

Only in dumbed down stupified america can this be happening.

All come on Mightymoe what job have you ever held that allowed you to take time from your working paid schadule to use there company car in this case a Helicopter, to take care of your personal business. Knowing this would be your last day working for that company. I quess to you a Governor's family is more important then yours or mine.

so you wouldn't do it,huh... my whole point is who should really care besides the people of New Jersey? not one cent of my taxes went towards that, and if a liberal should choose to do it, why would i care? look and the emperor obama, he spends more in an hour that most governors do in a year... so a republican used a state helicopter to go see his son play... what are any of you going to do about it? you can move to New Jersey and try to vote him out of office...lol, liberals are dumb sometimes... any chance to take a shot at a conservative, you jump all over it... keep jumping, there will be more

ya, i like it when a liberal talks about "stupified america" lol... there's that pot - kettle action going on again...

It looks like to me your the one who do all the name calling is it a reason for that to try to prove your point.

Well then, what about Obama using national resources to coach his daughter's basketball game and attend most of her games? If your gonna attack one you better attack both.

look again, i called nobody nothing... more liberal logic?

i always like it when liberals can't win an arugement they resort to these misdirection tactics...lol, sorry, but yall really don't have a leg to stand on here...

Either that or they just call someone a racist, warmonger or fearmonger. Once they resort to that, they even know their cause is lost.

"They"...., it's more about your way of thinking I quess and all should be in line with you or else.. are there special classes one can attain or maybe it's all about the choosen few.
