Photos and video of the meeting Chris Christie had with residents during his "Endless Summer Tour."
Governor Chris Christie brought his Endless Summer Tour for Tax Reform to Long Beach Island on Thursday.
He spoke to an overflow crowd that filled the pavilion and lined the boardwalks on either side of Bayview Park in Long Beach Township’s Brant Beach section.
Christie began his commentary outlining the bipartisanship in Trenton that had accomplished items like tenure reform and scaling down the size of government.

During the question and answer session following his call for tax cuts, the governor fielded questions on a variety of topics including some local issues such as beach replenishment vs. eminent domain, developing an aquaculture economy in Barnegat Bay and the contentious issue of consolidation.
"Two-thousand-eleven was the best private sector job growth year we've had since the year 2000," Christie said. "The New Jersey cutback has begun. Now we need to throw gasoline on it and get more people back to work. The way to do that is to cut taxes."
