New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has spent more than $50 million since the start of 2013 on lawyers outside his administration, largely because of costs related to the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal.
The administration has billed $22 million this year, according to a person familiar with the costs who wasn’t authorized to provide the information. Spending on outside counsel last year reached $29 million, the most since at least 2005, the earliest information available, according to Lee Moore, a spokesman for the state attorney general’s office.
Billings related directly to the bridge scandal exceeded $7 million as of mid-August, according to information released at that time by acting Attorney General John Hoffman’s office.

Some will still vote for him,even in light of his willingness to spend their money.His greatest fear was & still is the MOVIE that is still in the writing phase waiting for every possible detail to emerge.That may account for the huge legal fees.That bridge issue was much larger than most could imagine.
That movie is predicted to hit theaters during the 2016 Presidential campaign.
