15. She was a high level Cantor Fitzgerald person long before he was governor

I wonder if the CF money is actually a pension or some kind of profit sharing from her time there still owed her after leaving to go to the other firm.

Her high pay - like that of many Wall Street top people - is unbelievably high. They are a large part of the 1% or near 1%.

As her high level positions predate his position as governor, I don't think this is someone using her to "repay" her husband. In fact, had a female governor (either party) had a high paid spouse would anyone question it? Wall Street is not regulated by the state of NJ - so there is less potential for complicity than when the spouse is a lawyer in the state where the other spouse is governor.
