Gov. Chris Christie in the last two months gave raises to the staff members who run his press shop, his schedule and his public appearances, according to a report by The Record.
Of the 27 staff members who got their salary bumped, 24 are aides who set the stage at his town halls, handle his image in the media or schedule his events.
Some of the biggest raises went to Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for the governor, and Dan Robles, a personal assistant who travels with Christie. Each started receiving an extra $35,000 this year, according to data obtained by The Record.

Christie handed out the raises for his staff at a difficult time for the state's budget. The Republican governor is dealing with a $2.7 billion shortfall in expected revenue for the current fiscal year and the following one, which begins July 1.
