Governor Christie of New Jersey appeared on MSNBC to talk about his no nonsense style. "How do you do this in other states?" asks an anchor. "You have a spine, but a lot of other politicians don't."
Christie quickly responds: "Well, they better get one...If you don't speak directly to people and don't treat them like adults, then you are bound for failure."
We love many of the reforms that Gov. Christie is implementing in New Jersey and hope Illinois will get to see many of them in the near future.
