Guess The Cost Was For An Extra Large Canvas



News Item:
Chris Christie is sparing no expense when it comes to his official portrait, which is being paid for with public funds. 
The former New Jersey Republican governor is commemorating his eight years in office, which ended in January, with a painting of himself by Australian artist Paul Newton. He signed an $85,000 contract for the work the month before his term ended 
The price is more than the state’s three previous governors paid for their portraits combined, reports The Record, which revealed the extravagant expenditure on Thursday.
Just one more "sit down and shut up" moment from Christie for the citizens of New Jersey.
