The Star-Ledger embarrassed Christie earlier this year with a series of screaming headlines that forced him into a thorough purge and a long-overdue criminal investigation. Reporter Ted Sherman did what Christie and investigators should have done: Dig through the files of the PVSC (Passaic County Sewerage Commissioners) and methodically connect the patronage dots.
Now, Christie is scrutinizing the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission’s hiring and promotion practices. Good. But the former U.S. attorney who promised to clean up the state is playing the same political games his predecessors did, despite all his bluster to the contrary.

Why didn’t Christie jump on the PVSC sooner? Because there were Republicans doing naughty things there, too.

Yes, the governor is a former prosecutor, but as governor, he is a selective prosecutor. This isn’t the first time that Christie — self-proclaimed corruption-fighting superhero — has looked the other way.

A couple of months ago, at a town hall meeting in Wayne, he sat on a stage with Assemblyman Scott Rumana, who faces an ethics investigation into a corporation he created to divert millions in energy grants awarded to Wayne, where he once was mayor. When asked about consorting with a troubled Republican colleague, Christie said: “I don’t know enough about it.”
