Gov. Chris Christie is taking $65 million, the entire allocation, from the state's global warming fund, and $5.9 million, from the toxic waste site cleanup program, to help close the over $10 billion deficit in his $29.3 billion 2010-11 state budget, the state environmental protection commissioner said Monday.

In discussing the Department of Environmental Protection's proposed $380.6 million budget before the Assembly Budget Committee in Trenton, Commissioner Bob Martin said he hopes the loss of the $65 million, funding for the state's role in a regional effort to combat global warming, will only be for one year. He told the committee that DEP staff will continue to attempt to work against global warming and so-called greenhouses gasses despite the lack of money.

That $65million can be put to better use warding off griffin attacks:

Here in NY, Gov Paterson took the entire 2010 stimulus to close the budget.

Somebody needs to tell that Commissioner the truth about “Global Warming”.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner.

Finally, someone in addition to Sarah Palin who has the courage and fortitude to stand up to the liberal machine.

If Sarah doesn't run for President, we should draft Christie.

Somebody needs to tell that Commissioner the truth about “Global Warming”.

He's a true believer. He needs no proof.

Religion is about faith.

Paging Captain Obvious. Your ship has finally docked in NJ. Please sail for the Potomac and every rat infested state capitals.

[edcoil]

Government allocated 65 million for a hoax junk science - see this hoax will be with us for some time.

[wny]

that's always been an obvious campaign slogan/question to me:

"would you rather combat climate change? or would you rather have a job?"

[MeSpikeLibs]

I watched him on Morning Joe this morning and came away very impressed.

Christie is the Man. When he’s done with NJ can he come over to PA and clean up here as well?
