The biggest beneficiaries of the tax will be gas retailers in NJ, MD, and DE.

the NY Timespieces was interesting:

Mr. Grimm then thanked the judge’s clerks, before crossing the room to the sketch artists who had been busily capturing his image.
“You guys are so talented!” he said.

Grimm is going to resign, so no official criminals in Congress and there's a special election to take place. What a seat, I forgot it also previously had this guy representing it

Christie's already said he's keepng his nose out of it (because candidacy?), so why would resurrecting his image cause you to do the opposite?
