TRENTON, U.S.A - Governor Chris Christie signed a proclamation on Wednesday making 5-year-old Jesse Koczon, of Old Bridge, honorary governor for the day and his fraternal twin brother, Brandon, honorary lieutenant-governor.It was reported a New Jersey boy cried on a YouTube clip that he's too small to be governor was all smiles as Christie made him honorary chief executive.
The boys, dressed in collared shirt, ties and trousers, appeared at a news conference with their parents, Jon and Dawn Koczon, Christie and Lieutenant-Governor Kim Guadagno.- Christie, who has four children in elementary through high school, said he "related as a father," when he saw the video clip of the boy crying.
- Christie said Jesse may be a natural for the state's top job. When the governor asked if he remembered what to do about property taxes, Jesse replied: "Don't raise them."
- When Christie asked what would happen if he did increase taxes, Jesse answered" "I won't be governor that long." The children seemed to enjoy the job as much as Christie. Brandon seemed satisfied with his role as second-in-charge.
- Asked what he'd do as lieutenant-governor, Brandon heeded Guadagno's whispers: "Whatever my brother tells me to do," he said.
- In the clip (below), which has even drawn comments from Chris Christie, the current NJ governor Jesse can be seen sitting in the back of his parents' car and crying as his mom asks what the problem is, before be sobs: "Because I want to be the governor and I can't."
When his mom asks him why not, he adds, in an equally heart-breaking and tearful voice, "Because I'm too small and I wanna," and then, "everyone tells me that I'm too small to be the governor of New Jersey."
