A Democratic lawmaker wants a hearing held as a result of Gov. Christie’s use of a state police helicopter to attend his son’s high school baseball game.
Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness Chairwoman Annette Quijano, (D-20), Union on Thursday called for a hearing into protocols and procedures for the helicopters’ use.
“The helicopters are state-of-the-art models meant to be used for homeland security and patient transport across New Jersey,” she said in a release. “I understand the state police have said the helicopter may have been in use for pilot training even if the governor and his wife didn’t need a ride to make all their appointments, but my committee needs a fuller understanding of how these helicopters are being utilized.”
