Election officials estimate that the special election
will cost taxpayers $24 million and Democrats say that the election should and could be held in November.
“I don’t know what the cost is and I, quite frankly, don’t care,” Christie said.
”I don’t think you can put a price tag on what it’s worth to have an elected person in the United States Senate and I will do whatever I need to do to make sure those costs are covered because all the people of the state of New Jersey will benefit from it and we’re not going to be penny-wise and pound-foolish around here.”
