PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chris Christie is Negative . Outgoing Gov. Chris Christie  said Tuesday that New Jersey needed "tough and plain-spoken leadership" when  he  took office eight years ago and  he  delivered it  pulling the state from "the brink of financial ruin" by confronting problems leaders of both parties had ignored for decades.
 Christie  hands over state government to Democrat Phil Murphy in a week.
 Christie  said  he  was the first governor in America to try to tackle the huge and escalating burden of state pension costs  saying previous governors from both parties and Legislatures "virtually ignored the growing menace of increased costs and no real contributions." Among the steps taken during  his  administration was dedicating lottery proceeds to the pension system for the next 30 years.
When  he  took office   Christie  said  New Jersey was "on the brink of financial ruin as a state."
"We needed tough and plain-spoken leadership to deal with these problems "  he  said.
 He  said  he  vetoed more than $7 billion in spending  helped cut the state workforce  pushed through a cap on property tax increases and  at the same time  made sure the state invested heavily to help protect the New Jersey Shore from the kind of devastation it suffered during Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
The prepared text of  his  remarks didn't show  him  invoking the name of  his  friend  President Donald Trump. But  he  called it an "honor" to chair the White House's opioid commission.
 Christie 's speech caps  his  stint as one of America's best-known governors.
 He  was on the cover of Time magazine under the headline "The Boss" and a periodic guest on late-night television  where  he  memorably appeared in a skit about "dad dancing" with Jimmy Fallon and poked fun at  his  weight by eating a doughnut on David Letterman's show.
At least in the beginning   he  won acclaim for  his  forthrightness  like when  he  told beachcombers to "get the hell off the beach" in 2011 during Hurricane Irene.  He  told it like it was before Trump brought the practice to the White House.
 He  also was exceedingly popular and widely praised for guiding the state in its recovery from Superstorm Sandy  which ravaged the coastline.  He  was briefly seen as a top GOP contender for president.
But  he  was also criticized for testy exchanges with the public during town hall meetings and other encounters.
 His  popularity and job approval fell sharply  particularly after the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal in which three of  his  allies were convicted in a political retribution scheme.  He  also lost the home crowd after spending much of 2015 and early 2016 campaigning for president out of state  a contest  he  dropped out of after failing to emerge from the back of the pack.
 He  returned to New Jersey and focused on the state's â and country's â opioid addiction crisis after failing to get a top job in the Trump administration. A regular theme in  his  remarks around the state included "second chances " and the idea that people can make a comeback.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has struck a deal to be interviewed by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs team rather than appearing before a grand jury  CNN reported on Wednesday  citing sources close to  Bannon .
 Bannon  had been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Muellerâs probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and any ties with President Donald Trumpâs campaign  according to a person familiar with the matter.
A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment on the CNN report. A lawyer who represented  Bannon  in an appearance before the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday could not be immediately reached.
An interview with prosecutors would allow  Bannon  to have an attorney present during  his  appearance  as lawyers are not permitted in grand jury rooms.
 Bannon  was a close adviser during Trumpâs campaign and in  his  first months in office  but  he  was fired from  his  White House job in August as the president sought to bring more order to his staff operations.
Earlier this month  Trump attacked  Bannon  for comments  he  made to Michael Wolff  the author of a book highly critical of the president and his family. They included scathing remarks about Donald Trump Jr.  the presidentâs eldest son  for meeting during the campaign with a Russian lawyer who was said to have damaging information on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
 Mueller  is investigating allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 campaign to try to tip the vote in Trumpâs favor  as well as any potential collusion by Trumpâs campaign with Moscow.
According to a person familiar with the arrangement  the attorney who represented  Bannon  for Tuesdayâs House appearance  William Burck  is not representing him in connection with Muellerâs investigation. The person did not believe  Bannon  had hired a counsel for that yet.
