>Governor Christie had promised that this would be put to a vote of the elected state legislature, which is the appropriate way to change the law. When it became apparent to the auto dealer lobby that this approach would not succeed, they cut a backroom deal with the Governor to circumvent the legislative process and pass a regulation that is fundamentally contrary to the intent of the law. How is this not underhanded? It'd be unilaterally preventing the changing of the law since he didn't even allow it to enter the regular legislative process. He saw it coming and shut it down before it could go through the normal legislative process. Yes, that is underhanded.
