Chris Christie is a Cowboys fan and he doesn’t care who likes it. The ethics committee may want to discuss his travels to the ballgame.
Christie’s ticket and travel to the Dallas Cowboys playoff game on Sunday was paid for by team owner Jerry Jones, according to a spokesman for the governor.
According to NJ.gov, Christie being a public official subjects him to “a zero tolerance policy for acceptance of gifts that are related in any way to [an officeholder’s] official duties.”
According to NJ.com, Christie officials said the gifts from Jones are legal since an executive order signed by a previous governor says governors “may accept gifts, favors, services, gratuities, meals, lodging or travel expenses from relatives or personal friends that are paid for with personal funds.”
