The state of emergency declaration enables the state to gather resources to respond to problems as they occur.
The governor says people should try to stay home Monday evening and Tuesday in order to help road crews to clear the highways and streets.
Christie was joined by Transportation Commissioner Jamie Fox, State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes, NJ Transit deputy executive director Neil Yellin and Public Utilities Board president Richard Mroz.
The man loves these crisies like a blizard, sandy, ebola etc.. He makes so much noise about it, has sensational lines, acts hyper paronid just to show how in control he is. I am not advocating that people be on the roads. I am just saying how christie thrives from these disasters.
